Carlyn Schmidgall, a University of Washington DOE CSGF receipient, learns about oceans, combining observation with large-scale simulations. Schmidgall’s Ph.D. research, advised by Peter Gaube and LuAnne Thompson, zeroes in on how Pacific water entering through the Bering Strait carries heat into the Arctic and “where that heat goes, where it’s stored, and how it impacts the ice conditions and atmosphere.”
