Molecular diffusion at different temperatures (involving tea bags and some convection)

August 30, 2021

I thought I had posted the picture below some time in winter already, but when I recently searched for it, I couldn’t find it. So either I didn’t post it,…

Layered latte: A great real-life example of double-diffusive mixing!

August 25, 2018

Sometimes sitting in a café for a work meeting with #lieblingskollegin Julia can lead to unexpected discoveries of oceanographic processes — in my latte! It’s those little things that inspire blog…

“Laboratory layered latte” – combining latte and double diffusion. Easily my favourite paper ever!

December 16, 2017

My friends know me well. Especially A&I, which was proven again when they sent me the link to an article about two things that I am mildly obsessed with: Latte…

Salt fingering

August 28, 2014

My absolute favorite experiment ever: salt fingering. I know I’ve said it before about another experiment, even today, but this is my absolute favorite experiment and I still get endlessly…

Molecular diffusion of heat and salt

January 15, 2014

Why heat and salt diffuse at different rates. Why do heat and salt diffuse at different rates? This seems to always be puzzling students when talking about double diffusion. Well,…

Salt fingering – DIY

January 13, 2014

How to easily set up the stratification for the salt fingering process. Setting up stratifications in tanks is a pain. Of course there are sophisticated methods, but when you want…

Diffusive layering. Or: This is not a trick question!

January 10, 2014

The “other” double-diffusive mixing process. After having talked extensively about double diffusive mixing in my courses, I tend to assume that students not only remember that there is such thing as…

Salt fingering

How to show my favorite oceanographic process in class, and why. As I mentioned in this post, I have used double-diffusive mixing extensively in my teaching. For several reasons: Firstly,…

Double-diffusive mixing

January 6, 2014

On the coolest process in oceanography. My favorite oceanographic process, as all of my students and many of my acquaintances know, is double-diffusive mixing. Look at how awesome it is:…
