Education and career

Woodgate has a B.A. from the University of Cambridge (1990) and a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford (1994). [1] Following her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research. [2] In 1999, she moved to the University of Washington [2] and, as of 2022, she is a professor at the University of Washington. [1]

Research

Woodgate's early research centered on data assimilation in models [3] and currents near Greenland. [4] She has examined physical properties of the water masses in the Arctic Ocean, and the movement of the water masses in the region. [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. [14] [15]
