Biography
Elizabeth is interested in the marine carbon cycle and distinguishing between natural variability and anthropogenic change. She has worked on carbon chemistry and ocean acidification across many environments from the North Atlantic, to the Arctic, to the Southern Ocean. Her work is based on observations, laboratory analyses, and autonomous sensors deployed on floats and moorings, and the outputs of biogeochemical models. Elizabeth Leads the Ocean Carbon Observations Team, the IMOS Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) observatory, and co-Leads the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP) Biogeochemistry project. Elizabeth is currently acting as Co-Chair of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) Indian Ocean Sector Regional Working Group, and sits on the Executive Committee of the global OceanSITES network.
