The oceans are a key component of the climate system. In this talk,
Professor Zanna will discuss the role of ocean physics in storing and
redistributing the excess heat from anthropogenic emissions. Dr. Zanna
will focus on patterns of sea level, which result from this
redistribution of excess heat, and the uncertainty associated with
future projections of regional sea level. She will describe how
combining machine learning and physics may improve numerical climate
simulations and associated projections of climate change, including
patterns of sea level rise.
