Biography

Earle Wilson is an assistant professor in the Department of Earth System Science at Stanford University, specializing in physical oceanography with a focus on ocean dynamics at high latitudes and their impacts on global climate. His research interests particularly lie in the circulation of the Southern Ocean and its interactions with the cryosphere, including sea ice and marine-terminating glaciers. Wilson's group applies ocean observations and idealized numerical models to explore critical research questions in the field. He obtained his PhD in Oceanography from the University of Washington in 2019 and holds a BS in Applied Physics from Columbia University, awarded in 2012.
