Emma is a Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London based in the Department of Life Sciences at Silwood Park. She completed her PhD in biological oceanography on plankton poo and the ocean carbon sink in 2016, from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. She then moved to Tasmania, Australia, to work as a post-doc at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania. In 2019, Emma moved back to the UK where she took up her second post-doc in ecosystem modelling at Silwood Park, Imperial College London. In 2020 Emma started her a 4-year Imperial College Research Fellowship, before joining the Silwood Park faculty as a Senior Lecturer in 2024.
Emma’s research focusses on how climate change and fishing impact the ocean carbon sink. Her focus is to work at the border of both ecology and biogeochemistry.
