Biography

Lizzie is an oceanographer based at the Australian National University. Lizzie's research involves studying the role of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale features in Southern Ocean biogeochemistry. Her work utilizes high-resolution models to investigate biogeochemical cycles in the Southern Ocean. Lizzie completed her PhD at Imperial College London in summer 2023, focusing on the role of small-scale vertical turbulent mixing in the Southern Ocean's biogeochemical cycles. As part of her research, she employed data assimilating models to examine changes in biological productivity and carbon fluxes by altering the parameterization of mixing. Prior to completing her PhD, she obtained a Master's degree in Oceanography from the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton, and a Bachelor's degree in Natural Sciences from Durham University.
