An original study demonstrates the capability of SWOT to capture the spatial structure of storm surges during severe storms and hurricanes. A major advancement in coastal oceanography, SWOT hasstrong potential to improve scientific understanding, risk assessment, and long‐term coastal resilience.
Computational hydrologist with a focus on river discharge, sediment, and river greenhouse gas contribution.
The first detailed investigation of zooplankton distribution at fine scales in the North Balearic Front has been published in Biogeosciences. The work was carried out during the BioSWOT-Med cruise under the coordination of François Carlotti. Francois, who passed away earlier this January, has been a pioneer in the study of zooplankton from the polar oceans to the Mediterranean Sea.
Hydrologist working at quantifying the contribution of wetlands to global water storage variability.
Hydrologist using SWOT data to study water availability in the semiarid region of Ceará in Brazil.
Using data collected during the fast-sampling phase of the SWOT satellite, a study published on Geophysical Research Letters documents the presence of high-frequency Coastal Trapped Waves (with periods of 8-10 days) over the Patagonian Shelf coastal. The Patagonian Shelf is characterized by a complex topography and Coastal Trapped Waves can play a significant role in modulating the currents and nutrient fluxes that influence its high productivity.
Hydrologist focusing on how rivers work and how their behavior is shaped by the surrounding landscape
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.
The contribution of the SWOT mission to the observation of the ocean and the cryosphere, as well as its potential support to climate education, ocean literacy, and the promotion of space science, were presented during a side-event at COP30, in Belém, Brazil.
Fresh off the press! The ebook "SWOT and the New Wave of Oceanographers - Early Career Researches speak about SWOT" is an attempt to document the thoughts of the generation of researchers who will help chart the course of oceanography’s future, and provide a snapshot of their views through the lens of SWOT.
