معرفی
Marianna Katherine Linz is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. Her research focuses on climate dynamics, specifically the interplay between atmospheric and oceanic circulations and tracer transport processes. She leads the Linz Group, which investigates stratospheric wind patterns, jet stream dynamics, and ocean current systems to understand their roles in distributing heat, carbon, and pollutants.
Educations: Not explicitly listed in provided texts.
Her research interests include the age of air in the stratosphere, tropospheric jet dynamics, and ocean circulation's impact on climate. Recent work has addressed how stratospheric and oceanic circulations influence tracer distributions, with implications for future climate projections.
- Received NSF CAREER Award (2023) for studying stratospheric wind and ocean current patterns
- Named 2024 Sloan Research Fellow for innovation in climate dynamics
Her lab, the Linz Group, emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches using theory, modeling, and observations to decode interactions between fluid flows and tracer distributions. Current projects explore extreme weather events linked to jet stream behavior and the interpretation of large-scale flow trends through tracer analysis.
