I’m a physical oceanographer studying how the ocean mixes under Antarctic sea ice. I use instruments that measure small scale movements in the water to understand how heat moves between ocean layers. This helps us learn more about the ocean’s role in melting sea ice, especially in light of recent record-low sea ice extent observed in Antarctica. My research combines remote fieldwork in Antarctica with data analysis back in Hobart.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
