Biography

I am a marine biogeochemical modeller, and my research interests include:

  • Global ocean biogeochemical modelling
  • Biogeochemical parameter optimization
  • The ocean biological carbon pump
  • Deep sea benthic ecology and response to anthropogenic disturbance (e.g. deep-sea mining)
  • The variability and projections of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre and North Atlantic Bloom
  • Efficient coupling of biogeochemical tracers to physical circulation via the Transport Matrix Method (Khatiwala et al., 2005)
