Oceanographer
Rebecca Woodgate is a professor at the
University of Washington known for her work on ocean circulation in polar regions.
Education and career
Woodgate has a B.A. from the
University of Cambridge (1990) and a Ph.D. from the
University of Oxford (1994).
[1] Following her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the
Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research .
[2] In 1999, she moved to the University of Washington
[2] and, as of 2022, she is a professor at the University of Washington.
[1]
Research
Woodgate's early research centered on data assimilation in models
[3] and currents near
Greenland .
[4] She has examined physical properties of the water masses in the
Arctic Ocean , and the movement of the water masses in the region.
[5]
[6] Her research also focuses on the flow of freshwater through the Bering Strait
[7] and the changes in the water flowing through the Bering Strait over time.
[8]
[9] Woodgate's research also informs understanding of the role of freshwater in the Arctic,
[10]
[11] and the interactions between the Arctic Ocean and sea ice in the region.
[12]
[13] Her research uses moored instruments to observe conditions in the Arctic Ocean.
