As a sea-going oceanographer with a strong background in physical oceanography, I want to elucidate the biophysical interactions that support our ecosystems and investigate the significant challenges facing our marine environments. My research aims to understand to the connections between atmospheric forcing, stratified ocean processes, and the resulting environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, light, nutrient availability) to phytoplankton variability. To achieve this, I supplement field-based observations with idealised and one-dimensional numerical modelling to further understand the dynamical connections.
