Research
Igor Belkin is a physical oceanographer who studies oceanic fronts, their geographical distribution, physical structure, temporal variability, and diverse manifestations and applications. He also conducts research on the long-term variability of the World Ocean, especially formation and propagation of large-scale temperature/salinity/sea ice anomalies in the North Atlantic and other oceans.Publications:
