About the Author

I am fortunate to share my life with my wife, and seven cats and one dog. British by birth, and Canadian by naturalization, I alternate between the UK, Canada and islands in the mid-Atlantic.

I am an oceanographer by training, and my scientific research has focused on understanding the biological, chemical and physical processes that control carbon dioxide in the ocean and ocean acidification. I have published over one hundred and twenty scientific papers and contributed to policy documents including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments.
