Ros Death

Ros Death is a biogeochemical modeller who focusses on understanding the role in which ocean biogeochemical cycles are key to understanding the link between climate, ice sheets and the marine environment. Alongside this research she conducts pedagogic research into understanding the relationship students have with deadlines.

Death is a lecturer at the School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol, since 2016. She completed her PhD in 2004 on investigating the impact of iceberg freshwater release and sediment contribution to the North Atlantic. In her research she uses models at different spatial and temporal scales, in combination with available datasets, to explore the complex processes that drive the interchange between atmospheric and marine carbon stores. In 2021, she was part of a hackathon where she was a co-leader of a theme on ‘The Biological Carbon Pump in CMIP6 models’.
