Mixing processes in the oceans play a fundamental role in setting the global distribution of heat, energy, chemicals and marine organisms, and are directly linked to climate dynamics. Yet, there exists fundamental uncertainty in the rates and mechanisms of ocean mixing across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Our research employs both traditional and novel theoretical and observational tools to quantify ocean turbulence and mixing rates, and gain insight into the mechanistic processes driving them at both large and small scales.
