Biography

Dr Helen Findlay is a biological oceanographer who uses a combination of experimental, observational and modelling tools to investigate the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms and ecosystem functioning. She has an interest in understanding the biological, physical and chemical interactions within the marine environment, specifically relating to carbon biogeochemical cycling, with a particular focus in Arctic regions. Helen was the first recipient of the PML Lord Kingsland Fellowship.

Research Intrest

Ocean acidification in both temperate seas and in the Arctic.
