Postdoctoral Investigator Ali Johnson Exley joins WHOI’s PO Department. Ali earned her PhD from the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography. Ali’s research interests are observational physical oceanography, meso-to-large scale ocean dynamics and understanding the ocean’s role in climate and high latitude environments. She is working with Amy Bower to better constrain interannual variability of the deep pathways of the AMOC using observations and numerical model output. 

In her free time, Ali enjoys playing sports, running, surfing, hiking, cooking and traveling.
