Zhi Li is a physical oceanographer based at the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney. He completed his PhD at UNSW Sydney in 2022, focusing on the physical mechanisms driving geographic seasonal variability in the formation of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the Southern Ocean. His research investigates the major challenges confronting the climate research community, particularly the dramatic acceleration of global ocean warming and its uncertain association with heat uptake distributed among basin water masses. Zhi's work aims to deepen understanding of the physical processes regulating the formation and heat uptake of distinct water masses, which play a critical role in carbon redistribution and predict future ocean warming and sea-level changes. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher as part of the Australian Centre of Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) program, continuing research that builds upon his PhD projects.
