About me

I am a PhD candidate interested in the ocean carbon sink.  My work combines machine learning and earth system science, particularly the ocean carbon sink. In my PhD project I aim to assess the impact of underway pCO2 observations from sailboats on the estimate of the air-sea CO2 flux.  I am working under the supervision of Peter Landschützer, Tatiana Ilyina and Jochem Marotzke.
