One of our CLASS fellows, Théo Picard has produced a fantastic video explaining the work he conducted as part of his fellowship at the National Oceanography Centre.

As the CLASS project nears its conclusion, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is running a workshop / hackathon to showcase its modelling activities. This will provide an opportunity for marine researchers in the UK to become familiar with a broad range of model simulations, including high-…

Author: Théo PicardMy name is Théo Picard, and I am a PhD student at the Université de Brest, France. I had the chance to be awarded a CLASS fellowship in 2023. My work focuses on the biological carbon pump, a critical process for ocean deep food webs and carbon storage in the ocean. I am…

Having not met in person since 2019 due to the Covid pandemic, the CLASS team convened at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban for the 2023 Annual Science Meeting (with a hybrid option for those who couldn't travel). With a varied agenda, from presentations and poster sessions…

The latest research expedition to the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory (PAP-SO) sets sail from the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton on Friday evening, 5th May 2023. The PAP site, in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean is the location of a long-term time series of observations…

Hi, my name is Dr Kay Davis. I’m a Marine Biogeochemist working in collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre, and I was grateful to be awarded a CLASS fellowship in 2022.I applied for the CLASS fellowship during my Post-Doc at the Leibniz Institute of Tropical Marine Research in Bremen,…

My name is Sam Tiéfolo Diabaté, I am a PhD researcher based in Maynooth University, Ireland. My research focuses on the links between changes in ocean currents and coastal sea-level variability. This leads me to investigate boundary currents such as the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio, and the (much…

The latest Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruise set sail from Port Stanley in the Falklands at the end of February 2023. The six week expedition has been undertaking biological, chemical and physical oceanographic research during its passage back to the UK. The AMT cruises have been taking…
