Turbulence in fluids: two case study of climate relevance

This thesis is a summary of my PhD works. It explores the influence of turbulence on two different oceanic systems that can play a significant role in future climate variability: the marine ecosystem and the impact of high-latitude dynamics of Greenland fjords on submarine ice melting.
