Sabine Mecking Title Oceanographer IV Department Air-Sea Interaction & Remote Sensing (AIRS) Education Ph.D. Oceanography 2001, University of Washington M.S. Oceanography 1997, University of Washington Vordiplom Oceanography 1993, Universität Hamburg, Germany, 1993 Email smecking@apl.washington.edu Phone 206-221-6570 Large-Scale Ocean Circulation, Climate Variability, Tracers, Biogeochemical Cycling Dr. Mecking’s research interests are in interdisciplinary oceanography involving large-scale ocean circulation, ocean mixing, tracer ages, biogeochemical cycling, and thermocline ventilation. One particular focus is how these processes are affected by decadal-scale climate variability and how they relate to the uptake and storage of carbon in the ocean. Her work involves participation in hydrographic cruises, data analysis, and combining data with general circulation models through collaboration with modelers. Dr. Mecking joined APL in 2006. < Sean McPeak People Directory Jim Mercer >
