Rebecca Woodgate is a professor at the University of Washington known for her work on ocean circulation in polar regions.
[1] Woodgate's early research centered on data assimilation in models[3] and currents near Greenland.
[5][6] Her research also focuses on the flow of freshwater through the Bering Strait[7] and the changes in the water flowing through the Bering Strait over time.
[8][9] Woodgate's research also informs understanding of the role of freshwater in the Arctic,[10][11] and the interactions between the Arctic Ocean and sea ice in the region.
[12][13] Her research uses moored instruments to observe conditions in the Arctic Ocean.
