I'm interested in the interactions between ocean physics and biogeochemistry, and how it shapes the marine environment. I'm mainly working with numerical models, and like to combine them with data from the field. My research is currently focusing on near-time (interannual-to-decadal) biogeochemical predictions, including primary production and air-sea CO2 exchange.
