Fiamma Straneo is a professor at Harvard University specializing in oceanography, ice sheets, glaciers, and Greenland. Her research focuses on understanding the interactions between the ocean and ice sheets, particularly in Greenland, and their implications for global climate and sea level rise. She investigates the role of oceanic heat and freshwater transport in glacial dynamics, including submarine melt rates, fjord circulation, and the impact of oceanic forcing on marine terminating glaciers. Her work also explores the Arctic freshwater system and its global consequences. Straneo's research integrates observational data with modeling to assess the future contributions of ice sheets to sea level rise.
