Personal profile
Research Expertise
I am a sea-going physical oceanographer and interested in the variability of the oceans on seasonal and longer time scales. My current research focuses on the large-scale ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean and its role in the climate system. I enjoy presenting my research to both scientific and non-scientific audiences. I love turning ideas into reality. It is important for me to pursue ideas of sustainability in line with net-zero carbon emission ambitions.
