Since joining the CPR Survey in 2009, I have developed my taxonomic knowledge in identifying phytoplankton and zooplankton from the North Atlantic and Pacific areas of the CPR Survey. I also analyse net-caught zooplankton samples for different contract work and do regular quality assurance checks for these samples. Additionally, I am a member of the … Read more
I am a microbiologist and my primary interest is to understand how microbes interact with each other in the ocean. A fundamental question is how do bacteria accumulate sufficient nutrients to enable growth when, in the oligotrophic ocean, nutrients are present at incredibly low concentrations? Over a period of a day, molecular diffusion could provide … Read more
I work in the Data Team to assist with the smooth delivery of DASSH (the UK Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data) by conducting digitisation, standardisation and quality assurance activities across a range of Marine Biodiversity data sets. Additionally i provide support in collating and reporting statistics, promotion via social media platforms, liaising with … Read more
I am a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant within the Wheeler Group. My research interests are broadly focused on the effects of climate change on marine phytoplankton, including how multiple stressors interact to impact physiological performance at the species level, and community structure, photosynthesis and carbon budgets at the population level. I studied for my PhD at … Read more
I am a post-doctoral researcher working on the consequences of climate change on marine organisms and how it will affect ecosystems functioning and services. More precisely, I use large scale biological observations (such as shark bio-logging and plankton abundance) associated with environmental data (temperature, oxygen and nutrients concentrations), to (i) investigate how different species respond … Read more
My research currently focuses on developing molecular tools to better understand and predict harmful algal blooms (HABs) as part of the ACTNOW project. I have previously worked investigating macroalgae-bacteria interactions and post-harvest degradation kinetics of macroalgal biomass. I am also interested in extraction kinetics of lipid biomolecules during scale-up, the development/modification of industrial extraction methods … Read more
I am a PhD Student at the Marine Biological Association and The University of Plymouth. My research involves the development of techniques to ‘futureproof’ kelp restoration and look into the impact this may have on UK marine biodiversity. My previous research as a masters student and Research Technician at the MBA focused on the thermal … Read more
