Currently working on the LOCO-EX project
I'm investigating salinity variability at a basin-wide scale for a 35-year period in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Particular attention is devoted to the evaluation of the presence of spatial and temporal patterns in the occurrence of events characterized by extreme salinity values, since these episodes dramatically increase stress levels on organisms living in intertidal areas. Specifically, I'm applying new statistical methods to systematically monitor salinity fluctuations and for detecting anomalies in the salinity field within the period 1980-2015.
This project (funded by NWO, PI: Dr. Theo Gerkema) is in collaboration with the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research (IOW).
