Jamie Shutler 

Associate Professor and Principle Investigator
University of Exeter (UNEXE)

Jamie Shutler is an oceanographer and engineer exploiting in situ observations, satellite Earth observation and models in relation to climate and water quality. In particular this includes studying the distribution of calcium carbonate in the ocean, atmosphere-ocean gas exchange of climatically important gases, and evaluating the quality of model and Earth observation data.

Helen Findlay 

Senior Scientist
Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML)

Helen Findlay is a biological oceanographer who uses a combination of experimental, observational and modelling tools to investigate the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms and ecosystem functioning. She has an interest in understanding the biological, physical and chemical interactions within the marine environment, specifically relating to carbon biogeochemical cycling, with a particular focus in Arctic regions.

Peter Land 

Scientist
Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML)

Peter Land is a scientist with >30 years experience in remote sensing, Earth observation and in situ and laboratory measurements of water and aerosols. His research has included Arctic CO2 flux sensitivity, data sensor-synergy to study gas exchange in the global oceans, surface effects on air-sea CO2 fluxes, algorithm development, measurements of water and aerosol properties and automatic data processing systems. Much of his current research focuses on the marine chemistry and the carbonate system

Nicolas Gruber 

Professor
Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ)

Nicolas Gruber’s research interests are the study of biogeochemical cycles on regional to global scales in order to better understand how the physical, chemical and biological processes that control these cycles, and to be able to make predictions for the future. His primary research tools are the interpretation and analysis of observational data coupled with the use of models ranging in complexity from simple box models to general circulation models.

Luke Gregor

Scientist
Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ)

Luke’s current work combines machine learning with biogeochemical oceanography. Specifically, Luke uses data from satellites to estimate the changes in the marine carbonate system from which we can track changes in ocean acidification. These estimates allow us to monitor extreme events acidification events on a global scale over the last three decades.  

Jean-Francois Piolle

Scientist
Institut Francais Recherche Pour L ‘Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER)

Jean-Francois is an engineer and computer scientist with experience in the development of several processing and analysis tools for marine data. He is strongly involved in the sea surface temperature community, through several ongoing projects as leader or contributor. He has been responsible for the EO data management and dissemination at CERSAT since 2002.

Lucile Gaultier

Ocean Data Lab

Lucile is an oceanographer and computer scientist and an expert in satellite marine remote sensing and data visualisation. Lucile has been leading work on the development of ODL’s synergistic use of ocean remote sensing data in a wider context of oceanic and atmospheric models, and in-situ data and this includes the development of ODL’s Syntool and SEAScope.
