About
Dr. C. Cabanes is a physical oceanographer whose research centers on observing and understanding the ocean’s role in the global climate system, with a particular focus on deep-ocean variability and heat uptake. Her major contributions include pioneering work with the Deep Argo float program, which extends traditional profiling float observations into the abyssal ocean—the vast, previously under-sampled depths below 2,000 meters. Her highly cited 2023 paper (24 citations) demonstrates how Deep Argo floats can capture the full ocean volume, revealing that anomalously warm and fresh waters formed near Antarctica are spreading northward through the deepest layers, a critical process for tracking Earth’s energy imbalance. This work has reshaped our understanding of deep-ocean warming and its role in sea-level rise. Cabanes’ research is instrumental in advancing global ocean observing systems, and her findings are essential for improving climate models. Her achievements highlight her as a key figure in modern oceanography, bridging observational gaps to reveal how the deep ocean stores and redistributes heat in a warming world.
