Profile

Biography

My current research focusses on the assessment and evaluation of climate change mitigation strategies including marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) and Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) techniques. This is demonstrated through my leadership of the multidisciplinary SEAO2-CDR project developing mCDR governance frameworks and assessing potential implementation pathways, and my participation in the LC3M and ERW GGR-D projects quantifying the effectiveness of CDR via basalt weathering in agricultural environments. I have also evaluated approaches for monitoring offshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and led the NOC’s contributions to the CME Programme that enabled the development of sustainable Blue Economies in Small Island Developing States. My broader research interests include the development and application of innovative chemical and isotopic techniques to determine how global systems and processes are affected by environmental perturbations, and investigation of the causes and consequences of climatic events throughout the geological record.
