Dr Angus Atkinson

Marine ecologist, Plymouth Marine Laboratory

Role in project: I am a plankton ecologist with interests in polar zooplankton. Within BOOMS I want to link Southern Ocean seascapes with the distributions of two contrasting but important zooplankton groups - Antarctic krill and salps - and to understand how these habitats change in space and time

Dr Thomas Jackson

Senior Scientist (Ocean Colour Remote Sensing), Plymouth Marine Laboratory

Role in project: I am leading WP2 and WP3 for BOOMS. These work packages cover algorithm development and testing, processor construction and dataset generation. I will also be applying my expertise on optical water types, algorithm validation and biogeochemistry to individual tasks within these work packages.

Dr Peter Miller

Principal Earth Observation Scientist, Plymouth Marine Laboratory

Role in project: Peter has innovated a suite of remote sensing algorithms for detecting and visualising oceanic fronts, and has linked front metrics to the foraging ecology and conservation of marine animals. In BOOMS he is generating ocean front metrics to integrate with optical water types and other factors to form advanced seascape datasets for mapping ocean biodiversity.
