Jens Hölemann

Dr. Jens Hölemann is a Researcher in Physical Oceanography of Polar Seas at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. His work focuses on the geological and physical oceanography of the Eurasian Arctic Shelf Seas, shelf-basin exchange processes in the Arctic Ocean, and the transport/fate of dissolved organic matter.

His research integrates observational methods with numerical modeling to understand Arctic Ocean dynamics, including studies on water mass circulation, climate interactions, and biogeochemical processes. Key areas include the Eurasian Basin, Fram Strait, and the influence of freshwater fluxes on polar ecosystems.

He contributes to long-term Arctic observation systems such as the HAUSGARTEN observatory and collaborative projects like MOSAiC. His expertise spans fieldwork on research vessels (e.g., Polarstern), remote sensing, and data assimilation techniques.
