Research Fellow in Global Marine Ecosystem Modelling

Summary

Research Fellow in Global Marine Ecosystem Modelling at BIO-Carbon, a UK-led research programme investigating how marine life influences the ocean's ability to store carbon.

Job description

Company overview

BIO-Carbon is a scientific research initiative designed to generate new understanding of biological processes governing ocean carbon storage. The project aims to deliver robust, evidence-based predictions of how the ocean will store carbon in the future, a critical factor in understanding global climate dynamics and the carbon cycle. By combining biological oceanography, biogeochemistry, and modeling approaches, BIO-Carbon investigates the mechanisms by which marine organisms and ecosystems influence the sequestration and transport of carbon into the deep ocean. The work supports improved climate projections and informs policy related to carbon management and ocean health. As a research-focused endeavor, it brings together multidisciplinary expertise to advance fundamental knowledge of marine carbon cycling. The project contributes to the broader scientific community's efforts to quantify ocean carbon sinks and their sensitivity to environmental change, providing valuable data and insights for researchers, climate modelers, and environmental stakeholders worldwide.
