I am a physical oceanographer who uses a combination of observational data (from ships, moorings, gliders), numerical model output, remote sensing and reanalysis products to tackle a range of dynamical shelf sea and ocean challenges, in both temperate and polar environments. I am interested in how ocean physics helps regulate and sustain life within our productive oceans, both across shallow shelf seas and within the deep open ocean.
