My research focuses on ocean carbon cycle processes, on local and global scales, across different timescales, through the application of different statistical tools using both observational data and Earth System Models. Currently, I assess abrupt changes and tipping points in ocean biogeochemistry in order to evaluate the impact of climate change hazards on marine ecosystems.
