Caique Dias Luko is a Physical Oceanography PhD student in the MOD group working with Jennifer MacKinnon and Amy Waterhouse. He is interested on how ocean eddies and internal wave-driven mixing affect marine ecosystems and climate.
Caique is currently studying how inertially-modulated bottom convergence below anticyclones can drive hypoxia variability in the Texas-Louisiana shelf. In the future, Caique will work on how internal wave breaking in the Equator can generate vertical heat fluxes and how that might be an important feedback for ENSO.
