Özgür Gürses

Özgür Gürses is a Researcher specializing in Biogeochemical modeling at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Germany's premier polar and marine research institution.

His primary research focuses include:

• Global Carbon Budget analysis in polar regions
• Polar climate system dynamics
• Development of Finite Element and Volume methods for climate modeling
• Strait dynamics and their impact on ocean circulation

As a Scientific Programmer at AWI, Dr. Gürses develops sophisticated computational models to simulate biogeochemical processes in polar marine environments. His work bridges advanced numerical methods with polar climate research, contributing to improved understanding of carbon cycling and climate feedback mechanisms in Earth's most vulnerable regions. His modeling expertise supports AWI's extensive field research conducted through research vessels like Polarstern and polar research stations.

Dr. Gürses maintains an active research profile with publications accessible through AWI's EPIC repository. His technical expertise in climate model development represents a critical component of AWI's interdisciplinary approach to polar research, collaborating with scientists across marine geochemistry, physical oceanography, and climate dynamics disciplines.
