Profil personnel
Research Expertise
A microbial biogeochemist interested in how microbial communities cycle carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. I have particular interest in methane production in the upper oceans.
I have published 15 peer reviewed papers and two book chapters.
I am also the Deputy Programme leader for the BSc (Hons) Marine Science degree at SAMS UHI.
Expertise relative aux objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies
En 2015, les États membres des Nations Unies ont convenu de 17 objectifs de développement durable (Sustainable Development Goals, SDG) pour éradiquer la pauvreté, protéger la planète et assurer la prospérité de tous. Le travail de cette personne contribue à la poursuite du/des SDG suivant(s) :
