Ocean Mixing: Drivers, Mechanisms and Impacts contains a broad perspective on the causes of ocean mixing, with a perspective on the implications, in terms of governing ocean circulation, climate, biogeochemistry and the marine ecosystem. Included in this edited volume are key future questions relating to ocean mixing, and emerging ideas/activities to address them, including innovative technology developments and advances in methodology.

Ocean Mixing is a key reference for those entering the field, and for those seeking a comprehensive overview of how the key current issues are being addressed, and the priorities for future research. It will be used by those seeking specific information on sub-topics (with comprehensive referencing enabling more detailed follow-ups), as well as those seeking a broad synopsis of current understanding. It will be useful ammunition for those seeking funding for specific future research campaigns, by being an authoritative source concerning key scientific goals in the short, medium and long terms. It will contain bespoke and informative graphics that can be used in teaching to convey complex concepts and phenomena in easily-accessible ways.
  • Presents a coherent overview of state-of-the-art research concerning ocean mixing
  • Provides an in-depth discussion of how ocean mixing impacts all scales of the planetary system
  • Includes elucidation of the grand challenges in ocean mixing, and how they might be addressed

Professor Mike Meredith is an oceanographer and Science Leader at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge, UK. He is head of the Polar Oceans team at BAS, which has research foci on determining the role of the polar oceans on global climate, the ice sheets, and the interdisciplinary ocean system. He is an Honorary Professor at the University of Bristol, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a NERC Individual Merit Promotion (Band 2) scientist. He has published more than 200 papers in international journals, and was the inaugural Chair of the Southern Ocean Observing System. He led the design and delivery of the multi-institute ORCHESTRA programme, which is unravelling the role of the Southern Ocean in controlling global climate. He was recently coordinating lead author for the IPCC Special Report on Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. In 2018, Mike was awarded the Tinker-Muse Prize for Science and Policy in Antarctica, in recognition of his contributions to the study of the Southern Ocean and its global impacts, and the Challenger Medal, for his contributions to marine science. Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato is an oceanographer interested in the processes governing ocean circulation and its role in climate. His groups research focuses on unravelling the dynamics connecting the breadth of scales of oceanic flow from small-scale turbulence to the basin-scale circulationthrough the development and application of new approaches to measure the ocean. He holds a Chair of Physical Oceanography at the University of Southampton, and is an Honorary Fellow of the British Antarctic Survey. His work has been recognised with the Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award of the European Geosciences Union (2008), an Honorary Fellowship of the Challenger Society (2010), a Philip Leverhulme Prize (2010) and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award (2014). He was the lead proponent of the RoSES programme, which is assessing the role of the Southern Ocean in the global carbon cycle. He is the founding director of the NEXUSS Centre of Doctoral Training, which is training 45 PhD students at 10 UK institutions in the use of cutting-edge sensor and autonomous system technologies for environmental science.
