  1. Prepare a paper for publication which quantifies the seasonal evolution of the surface mixed layer in response to air-sea fluxes and sea-ice growth and decay in East Antarctic polynyas.
  2. Extend recent analyses within the Prydz Bay region across East Antarctic polynyas to examine regional (spatial and temporal) variability in seasonal DSW formation, including the role and contribution from less active and/or smaller polynyas.
  3. Deliver research outputs within the scope, timetable, and budget of the project.
  4. Disseminate research results in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, at national and international meetings, and through seminars.

  • Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines to achieve collective and individual outcomes.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills for both specialist and general audiences.
  • Proven record of publishing research in peer-reviewed literature.
