Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Lauderdale is a research scientist based in Cambridge, MA with nine years of postdoctoral and research experience probing how ocean circulation and biogeochemical processes modulate Earth's climate and atmospheric CO2, with particular expertise in high-latitude systems like the Southern Ocean. Trained with a PhD in physical oceanography and biogeochemical modelling from the University of Southampton, he blends large-scale physical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, and computational numerical modelling to interrogate past-climate mechanisms and the biological pump. At MIT EAPS since 2013 he has translated mechanistic hypotheses into model experiments, coupling rigorous theory with practical coding and data analysis. Colleagues value his ability to connect ocean physics to carbon-cycle feedbacks and to extract climate-relevant signals from complex model output. An analytical thinker comfortable across scales, he often focuses on the subtle role of polar processes in global carbon budgets—a perspective that is easy to miss yet central to his work.
