Our long-term research goals are to understand the physics of the high-latitude ocean mechanistically and quantitatively with respect to both its structure and circulation, as well as to understand the links between those physical mechanisms and the biology and chemistry of the high-latitude marine environment. The variability of the marine environment is a special focus and concern.
