Background:

Clara is a PhD student at the University of Southampton. She has always had a passion for the ocean, and completed a BSc in Marine Biology at St Andrews before working at Macduff Marine Aquarium for a year. Since then, she has completed an MSc in Oceanography at Southampton University and is now researching the biological carbon pump in the Southern Ocean. She is particularly interested in how regional ocean conditions can influence carbon uptake, export and sequestration, and uses data collected remotely by satellites and Argo floats to explore these topics.

In her spare time, Clara enjoys scuba diving, climbing, swimming and board games.
