Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHelen Snaith is a seasoned leader in marine data science with over three decades of experience bridging physical oceanography, remote sensing and data services. As Head of Data Research and Services at the National Oceanography Centre she leads the British Oceanographic Data Centre’s delivery and innovation, and until recently headed the Global Center for the Nippon Foundation–GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project to map the deep ocean floor by 2030. Her background as a research scientist in satellite altimetry and mesoscale ocean dynamics underpins a track record of developing and validating new satellite-derived products and operational data services for ocean modelling. She combines scientific rigor from a PhD in Physical Oceanography with practical data engineering and product delivery, frequently applying emerging data technologies to improve access and reuse of marine data. Colleagues know her for turning complex sensing sources—like deep-water video and altimetry—into usable, validated datasets that directly support research and policy.
