As the water moves around\, it caries heat and nutrients\, as well as larger objects like pl anktonic organisms and litter around the globe.\n\nThe most natural way to study the pathways of water and the connections between ocean basins is u sing particle trajectories. The trajectories can come from either computin g of virtual floats in high-resolution ocean models\, or from the paths of free-flowing observational drifters (surface buoys or Argo floats) in the real ocean.\n\nIn this seminar\, I'll give an overview of some recent wor k with Lagrangian particles. I will show applications to dynamical oceanog raphy\, marine ecology\, palaeoclimatology and marine plastic pollution. C entral to each of these studies is the question on how connected the diffe rent ocean basins are\, and on what time scales water flows between the di fferent regions of the ocean.

Central to each of these stu dies is the question on how connected the different ocean basins are\, and on what time scales water flows between the different regions of the ocea n.
