Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Scott Polar Research Institute, where I use a combination of novel satellite imaging techniques, airborne geophysical observations and climate-ocean model data to investigate the key climatic drivers responsible for controlling the rapid deterioration of the Antarctic Ice Sheet since the onset of the satellite era (~1970-present). As such, I have a range of experience in the handling, processing and visualisation of complex geospatial datasets, and have experience in the usage of several different computer programming languages to do this. My experience also includes the long-term archiving and preservation of data to support scientific reproducibility, ranging from the publication of small, project-specific datasets to institutional collections (including assisting with the recent publication of SPRI’s historical Arctic airborne radio echo sounding data archives).

Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Conservation Science Group at the University of Cambridge, working on a global and updateable model and map of soil carbon in tidal marshes. To do so, I am compiling a global training dataset and will develop the model using R and Google Earth Engine. Previously, I worked on nutrient cycling in forests during my PhD at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) in Bordeaux, and at Laval University in Quebec, Canada. My professional interests include ecology [forest, soil, coastal], biogeochemistry, global changes, R, data analysis and reproducible coding.
