I am interested in the build and design of new ocean CO₂ instrumentation. The challenge of understanding the long term effects of ocean acidification lie in having complete and reliable time series of the differing carbonate parameters: pH, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and pCO₂. The future of oceanography will heavily rely on automated sensors that can relay data in real time. I have worked with multiple commercial and lab made CO₂ sensors and will be able to use this information in my future endeavors.
