Qiang Wang is a Senior Scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven, where he investigates the polar climate system with a particular focus on ocean and sea-ice dynamics and their role in climate variability and change. His research centers on large-scale circulation, eddies and boundary currents, air–ice–sea interactions, and the drivers and impacts of ocean and sea-ice change in a warming climate. He obtained his PhD in physical oceanography from the Alfred Wegener Institute and the University of Bremen in 2007, working on the development of the new unstructured-grid ocean–sea-ice model FESOM, and since then has been central to its development and application for polar seas, using high- and variable-resolution simulations to improve the representation of polar processes and to understand how polar changes influence the broader Earth system. He has contributed extensively to international ocean model intercomparison efforts such as CORE-II and OMIP-2, serves as editor for Geoscientific Model Development, Advances in Climate Change Research and Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, and currently is a member of the CLIVAR/CliC Northern Oceans Region Panel.
