Spencer Jones is a Physical Oceanographer whose research focuses on ocean dynamics and investigates how ocean transports heat and tracers around the globe. He employs a combination of theory, ocean models, and scalable analysis tools in Python to explore these phenomena. His work specifically examines the strength and geometric variability of the Meridional Overturning Circulation, often referred to as the "conveyor belt" circulation, as it plays a crucial role in transporting heat from the surface of the tropical Pacific to the Atlantic basin and moves heat northward. Jones's research interests encompass various aspects of Physical Oceanography, including ocean transport, eddies, isopycnal mixing, and vertical mixing, particularly during periods such as the Glacial Maximum.
