Ryan Mole

Ryan Mole is a Researcher in Physical Oceanography at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. His work focuses on the dynamics of the Southern Ocean, including physical oceanography, marine ecosystems, and climate interactions. He participates in expeditions aboard RV Polarstern and utilizes advanced instrumentation like the Triaxus profiler. His research integrates observational data with modeling to understand water mass dynamics, current structures, and their impacts on marine ecosystems.

Recent projects include studies on Salpa thompsoni populations linked to Southern Ocean physical processes and high-resolution analyses of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. He contributes to long-term oceanographic datasets and collaborates on space technology applications for environmental observation. His work is published in peer-reviewed journals and contributes to international climate research efforts.
