I am a PhD student at the British Antarctic Survey investigating how the flow and properties of Antarctic Bottom Water entering the Atlantic Ocean from the Weddell Sea respond to changes in wind forcing. My work focuses on moorings inside the Weddell Gyre and Orkney Passage and investigates the mechanisms that control export through the passage.

Prior to starting at BAS I worked towards a masters in physics at Imperial College London writing dissertations on large scale potential vorticity inversion and using quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity to model wind driven circulation

2020 –           PhD in Physical Oceanography (University of Southampton/BAS)

2019              MSci in Physics (Imperial College London)

1. Orkney Passage Long Term Monitoring

   As part of the BAS Polar Oceans team’s long-term monitoring programme, we have been observing this outflow using moored instruments since 2007, in collaboration with Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory , who have been observing this region since 2004.

1. World Oceans Day at the National Maritime Museum

   Find out what it takes to carry out vital climate research in some of the toughest conditions in the world. British Antarctic Survey scientists will be bringing both our expertise and our equipment to the National Maritime Museum this June, giving explorers of all ages a taste of what it’s like to be a polar scientist.
