Henk A. Dijkstra is a Professor of Dynamical Oceanography at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. His research focuses mainly on the stability of the ocean circulation and on the physics of climate variability. He is author of the books Nonlinear Physical Oceanography, (Second edition, 2005), Dynamical Oceanography (2008), and Nonlinear Climate Dynamics (Cambridge, 2013). He is a member of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). He was awarded the Lewis Fry Richardson Medal from the European Geosciences Union in 2005, and he was elected a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in 2009.
