Hello! I'm Jago, a PhD student attempting to quantify the fate of carbon in blue carbon systems such as kelp forests to work out how they could be enhanced to sequester more carbon, and to help better understand how these biological systems effect the broader ocean carbon cycle. I work in the Ocean Dynamics group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Professor John Taylor.

Projects

• 🦠OceanBioME.jl - a flexible modelling environment written in Julia for modelling the coupled interactions between ocean biogeochemistry, carbonate chemistry, and physics. OceanBioME can be run as a stand-alone box model, or coupled with Oceananigans.jl to run as a 1D column model or with 2 and 3D physics.
• 🦭Walrus.jl - a Julia package providing various closures models (closure -> seal -> seal 🦭 -> walrus) for ocean flavoured fluid dynamics with Oceananigans.jl.
• 🌿SugarKelp.jl - model of sugar kelp implimented in Julia
• 🌧️getgfs - get NOAA GFS forecasts in Python with no platform specific dependencies
