Paul Halloran is a Professor in Ocean and Climate Science within the College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Exeter, where he moved in 2013. His research group focuses on the role of the oceans within climate change, particularly biogeochemical cycling, variability, and predictability.

Building on his multi-disciplinary background, Paul’s group tackles questions relating to climate change impacts on society and potential solutions in novel ways. Paul obtained his undergraduate degree and PhD in the Department of Earth Sciences, Oxford, where he worked with Prof. Ros Rickaby to examine ENSO change over the Pliocene, develop new geochemical climate proxy techniques, and study the effects of ocean acidification on calcifying phytoplankton.

After his PhD, Paul joined the Met Office Hadley Centre , where he worked as a scientist and later senior scientist in ocean biogeochemical modeling. He contributed significantly to the development and application of the Earth System Model HadGEM2-ES, investigating biogeochemical feedbacks, aerosol impacts, and system reversibility.

Beatriz Arellano Nava

Beatriz is working on the CONVEX Seascape project, developing a coupled sediment-water column model to simulate blue carbon ecosystems to help understand potential feedbacks and work towards verification of their carbon removal/emissions.

Ismet Saygu

Ismet is working on teh SEACHANGE project developing historical Ecopath/Ecosim models to understand the marine ecosystem’s influcence or response to critical transitions in human political and cultural development.

Guy Hooper

Guy is withing with PML on marine impacts of Direct Ocean Carbon Capture.

Jamie Atkins

Jamie is working with us, Cefas and the Met Office on seasonal prediction of the North West European Shelf sea.

George Manville

George was researching Southern Ocean marine trace gases and climate in a joint project with the Met Office and PML. George moved to a PDRA possition in Princeton/GFDL and subsequently to the University fo Exeter.

Jen McWhorter

Jen worled on an Exeter-Queensland scholarship PhD student working with Prof. Pete Mumby on downscaling global climate and biogeochemical model data to project coral reef futures. Jen moved to a research possition in NOAA.

Beatriz Arellano Nava

Before working as a PDRF within teh Convex seascape survey, Beatriz undertook a PhD in the group on high resolution observational analysis of past climate tipping points within the EU COMFORT project.

Sarah Holmes

Sarah undertook a NERC CASE (with Cefas) funded PhD student researching climate drivers of ecosystem change in the North West European shelf seas, integrating palaeoclimate reconstructions with shelf-sea modeling. Sarah moved to the Met Office and was seconded to the CCC.

Beth Langley

Beth worked as a masters student in teh group on a new method to isolate coccospheres from sediment and has since moved to a PhD in Glasgow.

Freya Garry

Freya was involved in the NERC-funded CLAM project at Exeter and the Met Office and now holds a permanent position at the Met Office.

Alice Lebehot

Alice worked on the RAGNARoCC project, studying North Atlantic pCO₂ variability, and has since moved to Capetown to work with Pedro Monteiro.

Lester Kwiatkowski

Formerly supervised by Peter Cox, Lester moved to Stanford for a PDRA position and is now at IPSL in France.
