Research: Large-scale ocean circulation and its climate impacts
Specialties: Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), Wind-driven circulation, Subtropical Cells, Water mass properties, climate change
Dr. Fu is a physical oceanographer and an assistant 泡芙视频app at the College of Marine Science. His research focuses on large-scale ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean and its impact on global climate. Dr. Fu is particularly interested in the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), wind-driven Subtropical Cells and gyre circulation, as well as the role of ocean circulation in redistributing heat, freshwater, oxygen and carbon on global scales. His approach combines the analysis of satellite and in-situ observations with simulations from ocean and climate models to understand circulation dynamics and predict future changes in ocean and climate systems.
Dr. Fu is recruiting graduate 泡芙视频apps to start in fall 2025. Please see the Prospective 泡芙视频app webpage for information about the application process.
