Early career researchers speak about SWOT

Melly Lauze: Master’s degree in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution looking for a PhD position in marine biodiversity conservation.

Cristina Martí-Solana: PhD student focusing on kinetic energy transfers at submesoscales in the Mediterranean Sea.

Francisco Rodriguez do Amaral: Hydraulic research-engineer focusing on improving the modelling of urban rivers and flood risk protection.

Valentin Bellemin – Laponnaz: Physical oceanographer focusing on the development of reconstruction methods of sea surface height (SSH) from satellite altimetry measurements. 

Felix Girard: Hydrologist focusing on long-term dynamics of lake volumes in West Africa and glacial lakes and glaciers in the Himalaya.

Elisa Friedmann: Hydrologist working at quantifying the contribution of wetlands to global water storage variability.

Solomon Kica: Hydrologist working at quantifying the contribution of wetlands to global water storage variability.

Rafael Reis Alencar Oliveira: Hydrologist using SWOT data to study water availability in the semiarid region of Ceará in Brazil.

J. Daniel Vélez Castaño: Hydrologist focusing on how rivers work and how their behavior is shaped by the surrounding landscape.

Martin Cornille: Master’s Degree using a synergy of remote sensing and in situ observations to examine the ability to detect mesoscale and submescale eddies in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea and the Nordic Sea.

Anastasia Volorio-Galéa: PhD student working with a new Lagrangian methodology aimed at reconstructing high resolution SST (Sea Surface Temperature) submesoscale fronts with the ultimate goal of estimating the strain field at high resolution.
