I'm a senior research scientist in Biogeochemistry and Autonomous Technologies at the National Oceanography Centre (UK), interested in biophysical interactions and the biological carbon pump. I use data from underwater gliders as well as other autonomous platforms, satellite remote sensing and shipboard oceanographic data to understand how water column dynamics affect phytoplankton and consequent carbon export. I use high resolution data from gliders to look at mixed layer depth dynamics and the role it plays in controlling the phytoplankton population, with a large focus in polar ecosystems. I'm interested in using and developing new methods to use autonomous platforms and integrated ocean observatories to answer ecosystem-wide questions.
