👏🎓 Congratulations to Zoi Kourkouraidou, who just defended her #PhD thesis “Uncovering the effects of Agulhas eddies on low and high internal tide modes and their energetics in high‑resolution ICON.” 🌊🌀
Her work reveals how eddies generated by the Agulhas current scatter low‑mode internal tides into higher modes, driving energy dissipation & mixing—insights gained using the #ICON‑O model at 5km resolution.

Well done, Zoi! 💃 Wishing you great success in the next chapter!
