Caroline Gjelstrup, DTU Aqua, will defend the PhD thesis "Changing oceanographic conditions in East Greenland" on Friday, 4 October 2024 at 13:00.

It is possible to attend the defence online on Zoom via this link or at DTU, Kemitorvet, 2800 Kongens Lyngby, building 208, auditorium 53.

In the PhD thesis, Caroline Gjelstrup investigates how and why key oceanographic features of East Greenland have changed in the context of the past thirty to forty years. As a region of significant climatic and ecological importance, East Greenland has become a looking glass for climate change. The thesis examines the features that underpin essential physical and biological processes in the region, focusing on vertical stratification, oceanographic fronts, and freshwater export from the central Arctic Ocean.
