Dr Allessandro Tagliabue Dr Alessandro Tagliabue obtained a PhD in ocean biogeochemistry in 2006 from Stanford University, USA. He then worked as a post-doctoral scholar at LSCE in Paris, France, until joining SOCCO in November 2010. Alessandro is interesting in better understanding the controls on the growth and primary productivity of phytoplankton

Dr Nicolas Raclecompleted his PhD on the ocean surface layer and on the coupling of waves and currents in Brest, France. He then worked two years within ACCESS with Pr. George Philander on the large scale salinity distribution and its link to paleoclimates. His focus is now on the air-sea-waves coupling and the high resolution SAR remote sensing of the Agulhas area.

Jennifer Jackson completed her PhD at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She studied the near-surface waters of the Arctic Ocean and how they changed due to the recent warming and freshening. Dr. Jackson started her postdoc at UCT in 2011 and is studying bio-physical interactions in the Agulhas Current and on the continental shelf.
