Rachael Sanders
Physical Oceanographer
Biography
I am a physical oceanographer, previously working in the Polar Oceans team at BAS. My recent work has involved investigating temperature variability in the North Atlantic as part of the ACSIS project, focusing on the drivers of the 2015 cold anomaly. Prior to this, I also completed my PhD at BAS and with the University of Southampton. My research focused on the variability of water masses in the Southern Ocean, and in particular how changes in Antarctic sea ice influence the properties of Subantarctic Mode Water. I previously completed a Masters of Ocean Sciences at the University of Liverpool and worked at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool for a year, analysing the levels of suspended particulate matter in Liverpool Bay.
