Biography

I am an oceanographer specialising in mode water formation and export, air-sea gas exchange, and dynamics. I am currently using a suite of ocean adjoint models to investigate the sensitivity of ocean heat and carbon sequestration to surface forcing.

Research interests

Ocean circulation and dynamics

Mode and intermediate water formation and export

Air-sea gas exchange

Adjoint ocean modelling

Geographic focus: Southern Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean
