The majority of our research focuses on coastal marine waters and blue carbon ecosystems. These zones are some of the most biogeochemically active areas on earth, and key components of global carbon and hydrological cycles.

WATER-QUALITY & POLLUTION

Our team work with a diverse range of topics covering many aspects of the marine carbon cycle and related themes.  Some of examples of these include; quantifying and constraining fluxes along the land-ocean continuum, investigating atmosphere-surface water interactions, as well as exploring the composition of waters and potential contaminants.

Within our projects we employ a variety of techniques, mixing ‘tried and tested’ methods with other more innovative approaches. Some examples of these include; utilising naturally occurring radioactive isotopes, conducting on-site timeseries experiments, lab processing for various parameters, and automated analysis measurements.
