Annie Foppert

Annie Foppert is a physical oceanographer who researches heat transfer in the Southern Ocean, and was on the 2024 RV Investigator voyage to Antarctica.

Using a suite of observational data, Annie seeks to better understand the mechanisms for transporting heat across the Southern Ocean, where and how those warm waters get onto the Antarctic continental shelf, and what is responsible for changes in the deepest, densest waters in the ocean.
