معرفی
Professor David Ferreira is a leading academic in the Meteorology Department at the University of Reading, specializing in climate dynamics, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and paleoclimatology. His research focuses on ocean circulation patterns, such as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), ocean eddies, and their impacts on global climate systems.
Education:
- PhD in Climate Dynamics from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris)
- Postdoctoral research at MIT
- Joined University of Reading as Lecturer in 2013, promoted to Professor
Research Interests:
- Climate variability and multiple equilibria in Earth's climate system
- Ocean heat transport and its role in regulating sea ice extent
- Exoplanet climate dynamics and habitability
- Paleoclimatic reconstructions of past ocean circulations
Recent Articles: Highlighting studies on AMOC variability, Southern Ocean carbon dynamics, and the tropical Pacific's dominance in global heat transport. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with numerical modeling to address unresolved climate paradoxes.
Advising & Collaboration: Mentors students like Jake Aylmer (PhD) and collaborates globally, including setting up fluid labs in Dhaka University.
Labs/Teams: Involved in projects like the EU-funded SO-CHIC initiative studying Southern Ocean heat and carbon budgets.
