Personal profile
Biography
Penelope Pickers is a Research Fellow in ENV at UEA. She has a BSc in Oceanography (University of Southampton), a MSc in Climate Change (UEA), and a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences (UEA).
Her primary research focus is on using atmospheric O2 measurements to understand carbon cycle processes, including ocean-atmosphere exchange of CO2 and anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions.
She is currently working on the DARE-UK and POLYGRAM projects.
Administrative Roles
Chair of the Researchers' Affairs Forum 2017-2020
Teaching Roles
Regular guest lecturer for 'The Carbon Cycle and Climate Change' and 'Modern Methods in Air Pollution Science' modules.
Key Research Interests
Main research interests include the carbon cycle, climate change, and ocean biogeochemistry.
