I have two main branches of work: generating global datasets and studying Antarctic winds. 

Combining various observations of climate variables, such as satellites, ships and buoys, into a complete, cohesive dataset is an ongoing challenge for climate scientists. My work, and that of the Surface Processes subgroup, is to improve the processing methods required to achieve such goals and thus generate new, improved global datasets. I am currently studying air-sea interactions, focussed on applying new tools and techniques to produce an updated NOCS Flux Dataset. This air-sea flux work also aligns with the MOTECUSOMA project that I am part of, which aims to produce a global air temperature dataset over land, ocean and ice.

The other branch of my work focuses on Antarctica, where I am developing and using climate indices to study key features of the winds across the continent. This will be applied to modelling projections, helping us understand how the Antarctic climate will evolve in the future. This work was part of the Antarctic Marine Coastal Winds project, in collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey.
