Jonathan Jackson

Dr. Jonathan Jackson is a Research Fellow in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen. His work focuses on the development of innovative instrumentation for marine and polar environmental monitoring, particularly in extreme and in situ conditions.

His research interests center on oceanic and atmospheric technology, with a strong emphasis on designing systems that operate under ambient pressure and controlled environments. Key areas include benthic sediment core retrieval and sea ice mass balance measurement, supporting studies in climate change, polar dynamics, and marine biogeochemistry.

The two most recent publications highlight his contributions to environmental monitoring technologies. One presents a system for high-pressure sediment core incubation, while the other introduces a low-cost buoy for sea ice monitoring. These works reflect a consistent focus on robust, field-deployable scientific instruments for remote and harsh environments.

The following scientific contributions exemplify his technical innovation:

• A system for retrieval and incubation of benthic sediment cores under in situ pressure (2017)
• A novel, low-cost sea ice mass balance buoy (2013)

Dr. Jackson collaborates with researchers across international institutions in polar and marine science. While no formal advising or grant information is available, his publications suggest active involvement in experimental oceanographic and cryospheric research projects. His work supports long-term environmental observation and data collection critical for understanding climate impacts.
