Irene Monreal-Campos

Irene is a PhD student researching how sea ice and surface foam affect ocean CO2 uptake based at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. She holds an MChem in Chemistry, specialising in the Atmosphere and Environment from the University of York. Her research experience includes a placement at the FAAM Airborne Laboratory, where she developed a methodology to estimate greenhouse gas fluxes from offshore oil and gas platforms. She also was awarded the Laidlaw Scholarship, which allowed her to conduct two air quality projects in Zaragoza, Spain and Mindelo, Cabo Verde. Her research interests lie in atmospheric chemistry, air-sea gas exchange, oceanography and polar sciences. She brings expertise in data analysis, modelling, field measurements, and scientific communication.
