Overview
I studied marine biology at the University of Essex at undergraduate and masters level, with a focus on gas dynamics in the environment and how inferences can be made from the atmosphere about the native biology. I am employed as a research technician on the NetZero+ project, which is looking at "planting the right tree in the right place" and how UK forests can help reach the governmental commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. I mainly work in eddy covariance, soil respiration & quantifying environmental carbon fluxes.
