Carolina Barnez Gramcianinov

Carolina Barnez Gramcianinov is a researcher at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon (Germany), where she works in the fields of oceanography and coastal and estuarine modeling. She is currently working on the development of Digital Twin of the Oceans for applications in coastal protection and resilience and sustainable use of marine resources (Blue Economy), both on an operational and climatic scale. She is also involved in activities related to wave modeling, analysis of extremes and coastal disasters, and nature-based solutions. She graduated in 2010 in Oceanography from the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo (IO-USP). She completed her Master's degree in Oceanography at the same institution, working with large and medium-scale ocean numerical modeling for the study of climate variability in the South Atlantic. She completed her doctorate in meteorology at IAG-USP, working with global climate models and dynamic downscaling to study changes in extratropical cyclones in climate projections in the South Atlantic. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of São Paulo (IAG-USP) and at the Center for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering at the University of Lisbon (CENTEC), where she worked mainly with wind-generated ocean wave extremes.
