Polar Bears & Arctic Fieldwork | Dr. Kirstin Schulz

This is a clip from a 2-hour podcast episode with with Dr. Kirstin "Kiki" Schulz. Dr. Schulz is a computational scientist and physical oceanographer at the Computational Research in Ice and Ocean Systems Group at the University of Texas at Austin. She holds her PhD in Physical Oceanography from the University of Rostock in Germany. During her PhD studies with PD Lars Umlauf at the Institute for Baltic Sea Research in Warnemuende, she investigated transport processes induced by tidal asymmetries in continental shelf regions.
In this episode, Dr. Schulz and I discuss the ongoing climate change in the Arctic, and how that might affect oceanographic processes like large-scale mixing, temperature/salinity gradients, internal wave action, stratigraphic ocean layers, warm water input from the Gulf Stream, and more. We also had some fun banter about Polar Bears, what it's like doing Research in the Arctic Ocean, the cost of running an icebreaker (ship), and much more.
