Marina is a physical oceanographer currently investigating the complex dynamics of eddies and their interactions, characterising the frontal-scale physical and biogeochemical processes within the East Australian Current system. Previously, Marina worked as a post-doctoral scientist at the University of East Anglia (UEA, UK) studying air-sea interaction and extreme precipitation events in the eastern Indian Ocean using models and ocean glider data. At UEA, Marina also completed her PhD investigating the dynamics of Antarctic coastal currents and their interaction with atmosphere and cryosphere. She completed her Bachelors and Masters degree in Brazil, at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG, Brazil), also studying the role of the Southern Ocean in the world's changing climate.
