Biography

I am a climate and carbon cycle scientist with experience in both applied and fundamental research. I specialise in earth system modelling, data analysis and scientific programming for interdisciplinary environmental and climate science applications, with a particular focus on carbon cycle dynamics, sea level rise and the impact of Antarctica on global climate.
