Field research at the edge of the map — working between the water, the lab and the places most data never reaches.
I study [RESEARCH AREA ONE] in places that are hard to reach, and I write about what happens between the data points.
Currently [CURRENT ROLE], [INSTITUTION]. Most of my work sits at the join between long-term monitoring and expedition science — the unglamorous, repeatable measurements that only mean something after a decade, taken in conditions that rarely cooperate.
A career built out of field seasons: postgraduate research in [SUBJECT], a fellowship that funded the first long-term monitoring line, and thirty-one expeditions since. The timeline sets out where each of those took me and what came out of it.
I am equally interested in the parts that do not make the paper — the logistics, the failures, and the long stretches of waiting that remote science is mostly made of.
“The ocean does not keep records for us. Somebody has to go out, every year, and write the same numbers down.”
Working on something at the edge of the map? I am always glad to hear from collaborators, students and expedition teams.
