Research interests

Exploiting Earth observation data to study and monitor the marine carbon cycle. This includes studying air-sea gas exchange, carbon sequestration in the oceans and developing approaches for water quality monitoring of bathing waters and aquaculture sites.

Principal investigator

Open Oceans and Coasal CO2 fluxes from Envisat and Sentinel 3 in support of global carbon cycle monitoring (OC-flux), ESA Support to Science Element project.

Improving CO2 flux estimations from the MyOcean Atlantic North West Shelf hydrodynamic ecosystem model (IFEMA), EC FP7 MyOcean Research and Development project.

Current projects and affiliations

European Space Agency fellow (OC-flux), NCEO (carbon theme) affiliated researcher, Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science associate researcher, NEODAAS, UK-SOLAS, EC MyOceans IFEMA and Oceans 2025 Theme 9 (Next generation ocean prediction systems) Theme 2 (Marine biogeochemical cycles) and Theme 6 (Science for sustainable marine resources).
