Kathryn Gunn

Kathryn Gunn is a Lecturer in Climate Sciences at the University of Southampton. She is affiliated with the Physical Oceanography group and the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute, focusing on Southern Ocean dynamics and climate change impacts.

• PhD from Cambridge University (2019)
• Postdoctoral research at CSIRO (Australia) and University of Miami

Her research explores Southern Ocean circulation, temperature/salinity changes, and seismic oceanography methods. She investigates Antarctic Bottom Water formation, tides' role in ocean dynamics, and climate change effects on abyssal currents.

Key article trends include Southern Ocean circulation slowing, seismic imaging of ocean fronts, and freshwater budget variability. Her work bridges physical measurements, acoustic surveys, and climate modeling.

• Active in the FRESH project (Antarctic freshwater measurements)
• Part of interdisciplinary research teams: Digital Oceans, Coastal Communities, Ocean Justice
