Sandra Tippenhauer

Dr. Sandra Tippenhauer is a Physicist specializing in Physical Oceanography at the Alfred Wegener Institute. Her work focuses on data processing, Arctic physical processes, ocean mixing, and autonomous platform observations. She is actively involved in the MOSAiC expedition, contributing to studies on Arctic hydrography, sea-ice dynamics, and biogeochemical cycles. Her research integrates field measurements, data analysis, and modeling to understand climate-relevant processes in polar regions.

Her expertise includes microstructure analysis, trace metal cycling, and the application of advanced sensors for oceanographic data collection. She collaborates on interdisciplinary projects addressing climate change impacts in the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Dr. Tippenhauer’s contributions are evident in high-impact publications exploring ocean mixing, nutrient dynamics, and the dispersal of materials in polar seas.
