Hannah joined the team at Project Seagrass in October 2024.
Before her PhD, Hannah worked for Operation Wallacea as a senior seagrass scientist, where she was responsible for leading and planning all underwater seagrass surveys. Hannah is an interdisciplinary marine scientist whose initial research focused on climate change and consequences to marine life. Her PhD was between the University of Exeter and Plymouth Marine Laboratory titled ‘Enabling spatially resolved mapping of the changing surface carbonate system across the Arctic Ocean’; the research developed a novel way to monitor ocean acidification in relation to fish stock health.
After studying arguably the most impacted region in the world by climate change, Hannah wanted to change the narrative and be part of the solution instead of recording the consequences of climate change. Hannah came to Project Seagrass after completing a post-doctorate at the University of Exeter.
