Prior to beginning a PhD at University of East Anglia I obtained a Distinction in MRes Ocean Science and a First Class Honours in BSc Oceanography, both at the University of Southampton. My interests lie in marine biogeochemistry, in particular on processes that affect carbon dioxide concentrations in seawater.
My research aims to address three questions:
This region is particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic inputs and changes in pH, therefore, this study provides an opportunity to further understand the drivers of pH gradients and therefore gain an understanding of the future of the Southern Ocean. We hope to collect data using sensors attached to autonomous vehicles, such as sea gliders.
The Southern Ocean has an important role in the context of the global ocean; therefore, it is vital that changes are monitored and understood.
