Sabrina Speich
Sabrina Speich is Professor in Ocean, Atmosphere and Climate Sciences at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris (France). She is member of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL).
Her research focuses on the uncovering and understanding of ocean dynamics and air-sea interactions and they role in the Earth’s climate system. She is an internationally recognized expert in ocean modeling as well as in organizing wide programs of in situ observations. She is recently focusing her research on scale-interactions in atmosphere-ocean dynamics, and how they affect the Earth climate and marine ecosystems under global warming. In particular, the ocean being the sub-climate system changing the most under the anthropogenic action, she is deeply involved in augmenting and improving the efficiency of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system and this together with a continuous scientific effort to understand ocean and air-sea exchanges processes. To reach such goals, Sabrina engaged in international efforts by co-chairing the CLIVAR, GOOS and GCOS panels.
Sabrina Speich received a Master in Physics from the University of Trieste (Italy), a Ph.D in Physical Oceanography from the University Paris VI – Pierre et Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université) in 1992, and the Habilitation à diriger des Recherches (HDR, equivalent to the D. Sc. in the United Kingdom, to the “Libera docenza” in Italy, and to the German “Habilitation”) in Physical Oceanography and Climate Sciences.
She received the 2019 Albert Defant medal and she is a member of the European Academy of Sciences.
