Emma Boland
Ocean Adjoint Modeller
Biography
- 2023-Present: Co-Director, AI for the research of Environmental Risk Centre for Doctoral Training, University of Cambridge.
- 2023-Present: Sustainability By-Fellow, Churchill College, Cambridge.
- 2013-Present: Physical Oceanographer in the Polar Oceans group, part of the NERC-funded CANARI and BIOPOLE projects.
- 2009-2013: PhD, BAS and Atmosphere-Oceans Dynamics Group, DAMTP, the University of Cambridge. Part of the international DIMES project.
Research interests
I am primarily interested in adjoint modelling and meso-scale eddy activity in the Polar regions. I also have interests in quasi-geostrophic dynamics, Lagrangian processes and climate science communication.
