Barefoot Biogeochemistry

We are marine scientists specialising in biogeochemistry - the interface between biology, chemistry and geosciences in the oceans. Most of our work focuses on coastal areas known for their ability to store and sequester carbon, collectively known as blue carbon ecosystems.

Within our projects we use various techniques to measure, investigate and quantify components and influences on the marine carbon cycle. Some 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.

Our motto of ‘taking the lab to the field’ and conducting on-site analysis means we often get our hands & feet dirty - hence our barefoot name.
