Overview

I am an ocean and atmospheric scientist with a wide range of interests that exploit satellite Earth observation, in situ observations and models to study and monitor land, water and atmosphere environments and interactions, particularly in relation to climate. This includes studying atmosphere-ocean exchange of climatically important gases, carbon accounting, bacterial, biological, viral and chemical water quality and land-water continuum interactions.  My work has covered novel in situ monitoring methods to support aquaculture, through to global analyses of carbon to support policy, through to the design of satellites for the European Space Agency.  I was an invited scientific reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Oceans and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC), and I was a lead author for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and International Oceanographic Commission (IOC) decadal vision for integrated ocean carbon research.

My reserach has been featured in the Guardian Environment, BBC news, Al Jazeera TV, Forbes, Higgs, The Daily Mail, The World Economic Forum, contributed to UK parlimentary enquiries (Ocean Acidification, 2017; Sustainable Seas, 2018) and guided international and inter-governmental agencies and research programmes.  My research team (JamieLab) currently comprises 1 post-doctoral research fellows and 7 PhD students.  All of the JamieLab research software is open source and freely available and this includes the FluxEngine python toolbox for calculating atmosphere-ocean gas fluxes.

For teaching my office hours are on Wednesdays: 16:00 until 17:00, and Fridays 09:30 until 10:30 in my office (Peter Lanyon A085)

Broad research specialisms:

  • Satellite Earth observation, remote sensing and mathematical modelling.
  • Physical, biological and biogeochemical oceanography.
  • Bacterial, biological, viral and chemical water quality.
  • Ocean and atmospheric systems.

Qualifications

PhD in statistics and computer vision (University of Southampton)

Research

Research interests

My research and projects are focussed on the role that the ocean and atmosphere play in controlling and modulating our climate, and methods for monitoring water quality in support of aquaculture and food security. This pure and applied research is supported by grants from a range of different funders including the European Space Agency (ESA), the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), The UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Crown Estate and the European Union (EU).
