This is a brief description of my activities as a PhD student at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
I am working on modeling of a different kind of estuaries that is possible to find in the Arctic. These estuaries are glacial fjords, with a different pattern of circulation associated to a subsurface freshwater inflow and a buoyant rising plume. I am using a two dimensional non-hydrostatic model to run numerical experiments representing this kind of discharges. Also, part of my PhD project includes some experiments with sediment in order to study the sediment transport in these systems.
I received my bachelor degree in marine biology (Universidad de Valparaiso, Chile) and after that I got my master degree in oceanography. My thesis work of marine biology was about the change in the eutrophication and residence time in a lake after being converted in a dam, comparing data of 1986-87 and 1997. My master thesis was about the horizontal and vertical distribution of salinity, temperature and density and the seasonal variation of a fjord in southern Chile. This also included an analysis of the data recorded by three current meters moored at the fjord mouth.
