U. Hausmann

U. Hausmann is a researcher at Sorbonne-Université, affiliated with the LOCEAN-IPSL laboratory in Paris, France. Their work focuses on ocean-ice shelf interactions, particularly in the Antarctic Weddell Sea, integrating high-resolution regional modeling and tidal dynamics. Key contributions include investigating the impact of tides on ice shelf basal melting and ocean water mass properties, with implications for global climate systems.

. A recent publication (2020) details a regional ocean-sea ice model of the Weddell Sea, highlighting tidal-driven enhancements of meltwater production and its feedback on Antarctic Bottom Water formation.

Their work utilizes the NEMO-LIM ocean-sea ice model with TEOS-10 thermodynamics, incorporating tidal forcing via FES2012 data. Simulations reveal critical links between tides, ice shelf melt rates, and sea ice thickening trends in the Weddell Sea cold-cavity regime.
