Coordinator:
   Dr Katrin Schroeder

CNR – ISMAR, Institute for Marine Science, Venice, Italy

Katrin Schroeder, physical oceanographer, is actively involved in experimental studies of the deep Mediterranean waters. She particularly focuses on dynamic processes, interannual variability of the physical and biogeochemical properties of Mediterranean water masses, thermohaline circulation, dense water formation, etc. She did receive the MedClivar Young Scientist Award in June 2011 and has more than a dozen scientific campaigns to her credit.
