Ocean-ice Modeller

British Antarctic Survey


I am an ocean/ice modeller broadly interested in understanding the impacts of climate change on the physical dynamics and biogeochemical cycling of polar regions, including the Arctic and Antarctic, and am especially interested in interdisciplenary studies incorporating models and observations. Prior to arriving in oceanography, I dabbled in fluvial geomorphology and experimental cosmology.

When I'm not sitting in front of a computer, I'm probably somewhere outside, ideally in the mountains.
