Amy Jeffries BSc
I am a marine biologist currently completing my PhD with the Sims Lab at the Marine Biological Association in conjunction with the University of Southampton, as part of the European Research Council funded project OCEAN DEOXYFISH. My research explores the impacts of declining dissolved oxygen levels in our world’s oceans, and the effects this is … Read more

Since joining the CPR Survey in 2009, I have developed my taxonomic knowledge in identifying phytoplankton and zooplankton from the North Atlantic and Pacific areas of the CPR Survey. I also analyse net-caught zooplankton samples for different contract work and do regular quality assurance checks for these samples. Additionally, I am a member of the … Read more
Dr Ian Joint, PhD, Mem.MBA
I am a microbiologist and my primary interest is to understand how microbes interact with each other in the ocean. A fundamental question is how do bacteria accumulate sufficient nutrients to enable growth when, in the oligotrophic ocean, nutrients are present at incredibly low concentrations? Over a period of a day, molecular diffusion could provide … Read more

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant within the Wheeler Group. My research interests are broadly focused on the effects of climate change on marine phytoplankton, including how multiple stressors interact to impact physiological performance at the species level, and community structure, photosynthesis and carbon budgets at the population level. I studied for my PhD at … Read more
Dr Loïck Kléparski
I am a post-doctoral researcher working on the consequences of climate change on marine organisms and how it will affect ecosystems functioning and services. More precisely, I use large scale biological observations (such as shark bio-logging and plankton abundance) associated with environmental data (temperature, oxygen and nutrients concentrations), to (i) investigate how different species respond … Read more
