Rebecca Woodgate is a professor at the University of Washington known for her work on ocean circulation in polar regions.

Education and career

Woodgate has a B.A. from the University of Cambridge (1990) and a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford (1994).[1] Following her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research.[2] In 1999, she moved to the University of Washington and, as of 2022, she is a professor at the University of Washington.

Research

Woodgate's early research centered on data assimilation in models[3] and currents near Greenland.[4] She has examined physical properties of the water masses in the Arctic Ocean, and the movement of the water masses in the region.[5] [6] Her research also focuses on the flow of freshwater through the Bering Strait[7] and the changes in the water flowing through the Bering Strait over time.[8] [9] Woodgate's research also informs understanding of the role of freshwater in the Arctic,[10] [11] and the interactions between the Arctic Ocean and sea ice in the region.[12] [13] Her research uses moored instruments to observe conditions in the Arctic Ocean.[14] [15]
