Biography

Heather Graven's research focuses on the global carbon cycle and its response to human activities, specifically in the context of climate change. She is involved in developing observational methods and testing models that simulate interactions between biogeochemistry and climate. Her work encompasses the sources and sinks of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as the application of radiocarbon as a chemical tracer in assessing oceanic, atmospheric, and biospheric models. Graven leads a research group based at Imperial College London, where she applies her extensive knowledge in climate physics to address pressing environmental questions.
