معرفی
Sophie Fielding is a Zooplankton Ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, affiliated with the Ecosystems team. Her work integrates acoustic observations to study ecosystem responses to oceanic changes, focusing on global food security and carbon cycles in polar regions.
- Ph.D. in Biological validation of acoustic backscatter (University of Southampton, 2003)
- BSc in Marine Biology with Oceanography (University of Southampton, 1995)
Her research spans zooplankton-nekton dynamics, ocean acidification, acoustic technology (underwater gliders), and carbon export mechanisms. She collaborates on NERC and EU grants including PICCOLO, COMICS, and MESOPP, contributing to CCAMLR acoustic sampling and NERC Cruise Programme.
Recent publications analyze krill distribution models, mesopelagic fish biomass, and carbon fluxes in polar ecosystems. She partners with institutions like Natural History Museum, Newcastle University, and University of Aberdeen, emphasizing emerging technologies in marine science.
