Atousa Saberi

Atousa studies the oceans using observations, theory, and modeling. She has specifically worked on kinematics and dynamics of dense overflows through sea-straits and how that impacts deep ocean circulation. She is currently at the GMAO office learning about the coupled ocean-atmosphere GEOS model and investigating potential sources of predictability in the ocean on seasonal time-scale.

• Instructor:

Atousa was fortunate to receive Johns Hopkins Dean's teaching fellowship. She designed and taught a course on the unifying theme for the Earth Sciences: Natural Hazards. She taught this course in the unique semester, fall 2020, when everyone was impacted by at least one type of hazard, the global pandemic. She wrote about her experience in the innovative instructor blog. Read more here: https://ii.library.jhu.edu/2021/06/10/the-hazards-of-teaching-for-the-first-time/

• Teaching Assistant:

Helped facilitating courses on physical oceanography, intro to sustainability and coastal processes.

• Guest lecturer:

Guest lectured in courses such as Earth & planetary fluid mechanics, covering topics on derivations of equations of fluid motion for geophysical fluids, and concepts such as Eulerian vs Lagrangian reference frames.
