Susan Little

Susan Little is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. She is affiliated with the Grantham Institute and MAGIC, with research focused on isotope geochemistry and the biological pump's role in ocean carbon cycling. Her work develops novel isotopic tracers for carbon cycling studies using trace metals like copper, zinc, and cadmium.

Her research interests include understanding the efficiency of the biological pump across modern, past, and future ocean states, with implications for Earth's climate. This involves studying phytoplankton dynamics and carbon sequestration processes. The biological pump’s impact on atmospheric CO₂ levels and its response to human-driven changes are central to her work.

While no specific grants or advising records are detailed in the text, her affiliations suggest involvement with interdisciplinary environmental and climate research groups. Her lab and team collaborations are tied to Imperial College's Department of Earth Science & Engineering and associated institutes.
