معرفی
Inga Koszalka is an Associate Professor of Coastal Oceanography at the Department of Meteorology (MISU), Stockholm University, and a Baltic Sea Fellow at the Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre. Her research focuses on mesoscale ocean circulation, Baltic Sea dynamics, Greenland ice-sheet interactions, and Lagrangian analysis. She leads the FORMAS-funded project developing algae bloom forecasts for Gotland’s water security. She has held roles including Junior Professor at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre (2015–2019) and postdoctoral positions at institutions like the University of Oslo and Johns Hopkins University.
Education:
- PhD in Fluid Dynamics, Politecnico di Torino (2005–2008)
- M.Sc. in Physical Oceanography, University of Gdańsk (1999–2004)
- Arctic Geophysics studies at UNIS, Svalbard (2001–2002)
Research Interests: Integrates observations, models (e.g., MITgcm), and Lagrangian methods to study turbulent dispersion, fjord dynamics, and climate impacts. Key projects include DriftBloomClim surface drifter deployments in the Baltic Sea and ice-ocean interaction modeling in Greenlandic fjords.
Articles Trends: Recent work emphasizes high-resolution modeling of ice-sheet/ocean interfaces, Baltic Sea upwelling dynamics, and compound hazard forecasting for desalination plants. Articles bridge theoretical fluid dynamics with applied environmental challenges like algal blooms and glacial melt.
Awards:
- AGU Editor’s Citation (2019)
- GFD Fellow, Woods Hole (2005)
- Polish Ministry Scholarship (2003)
Teaching & Advising: Teaches courses like Physical Oceanography (with a student cruise component) and supervises ~15 PhD/master students across institutions. Notable advisees include Hanna Winge (PhD candidate on coastal transport) and Ziqi Yin (MSc on Greenland fjord modeling).
Labs/Teams: Leads the Baltic Sea Fellows interdisciplinary network and collaborates with the Bolin Centre for Climate Research. Active in developing surface drifter technology for ocean circulation studies in the Baltic Sea.
