NICOLETTE CHANG
CSIR senior researcher
Physical oceanography
CSIR Biosciences
South Africa
Chang holds a PhD in Physical Oceanography from the University of Cape Town. She has performed initial Southern Ocean configuration tests for Southern Ocean mixed-layer physics using the regional ocean modelling system. She is currently working towards configuring and evaluating a fully coupled physical-biogeochemical ocean model together with collaborators to address these exchanges and spatial scales.
Chang uses numerical ocean models to investigate the Southern Ocean. The ocean model configuration provides a platform to study the oceanic processes of the surface mixed layer that influences carbon exchange between the ocean and atmosphere as well as to explore the important spatial scales involved in this exchange.
