  • This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Atmosphere-Ocean Group at the University of Cambridge. My research centres on small-scale processes in the ocean that can have important effects on ocean dynamics and climate. In 2017, I completed a PhD in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics at the Australian National University where I used numerical simulations, laboratory experiments and theory to examine transport by deep convection in the ocean. My postdoc research investigates the ocean-driven melting of ice shelves in collaboration with researchers at the British Antarctic Survey. By improving our knowledge of these small-scale processes I hope to help improve their representation in larger scale ocean and climate models.
