Stephan Juricke

Dr. Stephan Juricke is a researcher at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany. His work focuses on theoretical oceanography with emphasis on numerical ocean and climate modeling, data science applications, and scale interactions in climate systems.

• Develops sub-grid-scale parameterizations for mesoscale eddies in global ocean models (FESOM2)
• Investigates energy-consistent ocean-atmosphere coupling in high-resolution climate models (AWI-CM3, ICON)
• Applies machine learning techniques for improved ocean process representation

Research scope spans Atlantic/Pacific circulation patterns, oceanic eddy dynamics, Antarctic Circumpolar Current behavior, and climate system interactions. He leads subprojects M3 and L4 within the BMBF WarmWorld initiative, focusing on Lagrangian particle tracking and model uncertainty analysis.

Outreach activities include co-organizing "Science for the Living Room" livestreams, creating educational content with explainity and studio ahoi, and participating in climate communication through YouTube and Twitter. He actively contributes to public understanding of climate science through accessible formats.

Teaching experience includes graduate courses at GEOMAR and prior academic instruction at Jacobs University Bremen in numerical methods, geophysical fluid dynamics, and mathematical foundations for climate science.
