Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Meijer is an observational oceanographer and postdoctoral research fellow with a decade of hands-on experience studying Southern Ocean dynamics and their role in poleward heat and salt transport. He earned a PhD in Quantitative Marine Science from the University of Tasmania after an interdisciplinary background in meteorology, aeronautical engineering and coastal science, and has led field and modeling work on standing meanders, eddy-driven heat transport, and changing Antarctic inflows. Jan combines rigorous data-processing skills (MATLAB, NetCDF workflows for autonomous floats) with extensive shipboard experience and international collaborations at institutions such as Woods Hole and SEI. Based in Hobart, he pairs academic curiosity with practical seamanship—surfing and sailing inform his intuitive understanding of the ocean—and has translated that into outreach and entrepreneurship training through an ocean-impact ideation program.
