About
Nathalie Zilberman is a leading physical oceanographer whose work centers on observing and understanding the ocean’s role in the global climate system. Her primary research focuses on deep ocean circulation, heat storage, and the development of autonomous observing technologies, particularly through the Argo program. Zilberman’s major contributions include demonstrating how anomalously warm and fresh waters in the densest layers near Antarctica spread northward through the abyssal ocean, providing critical evidence of deep ocean warming in response to climate change. Her highly cited 2023 paper, “Observing the full ocean volume using Deep Argo floats” (24 citations), showcases the transformative potential of deep profiling floats to monitor the entire ocean volume. Her forward-looking 2025 work, “Advancing ocean monitoring and knowledge for societal benefit: the urgency to expand Argo to OneArgo by 2030” (13 citations), makes a compelling case for a global expansion of the Argo array. Through her research, Zilberman has significantly advanced our understanding of how the deep ocean stores heat and modulates climate, establishing her as a key voice in the urgent push for sustained, global ocean observation.
