Jonathan Bull

Professor Jonathan Bull is a faculty member in Ocean and Earth Science at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, University of Southampton. His research focuses on fluid flow dynamics, carbon capture and storage (CCS), marine geophysics, and tectonics. He leads projects such as STEMM-CCS and QICS, addressing challenges in CCS monitoring and seabed methane venting. Bull teaches exploration geophysics and remote sensing at undergraduate and graduate levels. He currently supervises eight PhD students and serves on NERC panels.

• Research interests: Fluid flow quantification, passive acoustics, marine geophysics, and northern Indian Ocean tectonics.
• Key projects: Greensand Project, STEMM-CCS, and CHIMNEY (NERC-funded).
• Teaching: Coordinates the second-year module 'Exploration Geophysics and Remote Sensing.'
• External roles: NERC Core Panel Member and NERC Main Panel Chair since 2020.

His work integrates geophysical methods with environmental monitoring, emphasizing long-term CCS safety and seabed fluid dynamics. Collaborations include institutions like the National Oceanography Centre and European Union-funded initiatives.
