Jelle Soons

Jelle Soons is a physical oceanographer at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, known for his research on ocean currents and climate systems. He is a co-author of a bold proposal to build a dam across the Bering Strait to help mitigate the impacts of climate change on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). His innovative ideas stem from historical climate data, suggesting that similar geological formations in the past may have contributed to stronger ocean currents.
