Krissy Anne Reeve

Dr. Krissy Anne Reeve is a researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) within the Geosciences division, focusing on the Physical Oceanography department. Her work centers on the large-scale circulation of the Southern Ocean, particularly the Weddell Gyre, and its impacts on heat and freshwater dynamics. She utilizes Argo float data and machine learning techniques to study oceanic processes and climate interactions. Key projects include the WedUP initiative investigating Weddell Gyre upwelling dynamics.

Research Interests:

• Weddell Gyre heat budget and circulation
• Argo float technology and data analysis
• Regional climate impacts of Southern Ocean dynamics

Publications: Recent work explores ventilation processes, nutrient trends, and heat redistribution in the Southern Ocean. Findings contribute to understanding climate feedback mechanisms and ocean-atmosphere interactions.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Southern Ocean Climate Group (SO-CLIM), collaborating on interdisciplinary projects linking physical oceanography with climate modeling.
