Biography
I am a postdoctoral research assistant in Earth observation at the University of Reading. Specifically, I use observations from satellites and buoys, as well as modelling, to investigate the daily variation in sea-surface temperatures. I am supervised by Prof. Chris Merchant and Dr. Jonathan Mittaz. Research Interests: Earth Observations. Sea-Surface Temperatures. Satellite Measurements. Space Weather. The Solar Wind Research Projects: FIDUCEO : FIDUCEO brings insights from metrology (measurement science) to the observation of Earth’s climate from space. CCI-SST : Improving estimates of sea-surface temperature.
