Overview
I am a NERC GW4+ DTP student within the Center for Geography and Environmental Science and primarily supervised by Dr Katy Sheen. My project uses computer models to better understand how plastic pollution is transported around the Southern Ocean and the role that sea ice, waves, eddies and ocean currents play in this transport.
