  • June 2024: Our multi-national team has received a research grant on “Arava Stream salt transport and mixing”, in which we will leverage  and refine UAV-based measurement techniques (example). More to follow.

RESEARCH STUDENTS(MSc/PhD)/POSTDOCS WANTED for a variety of research projects. Modeling projects include open questions on the Global Overturning Circulation, the Mediterranean Sea large-scale circulation, vortex dynamics, and internal waves. Observational projects include various aspects of density currents and submesoscale fronts and eddies, including their processes of dissipation, cross-scale fluxes, and modulation of air-sea interaction by submesoscale fronts. Please contact me at Aviv.Solodoch@mail.huji.ac.il if interested.
