Biography

Dr Tom Bell has been at PML since January 2013. He is interested in the importance of the surface ocean and overlying atmosphere within the global climate system. Specifically, his multidisciplinary research focuses on understanding the biogeochemical cycling of climatically-important trace gases and the factors affecting their air/sea exchange.

Research Intrest

Methods to measure the chemistry and biology of the open ocean and marine atmosphere; empirical modelling approaches to predict trace gas distributions.
