She undertook took her bachelors and masters degrees at the University of Plymouth, before moving to Oban to start her PhD at SAMS in 2012.

Her PhD research used a wide network of acoustic instruments deployed across the Arctic Ocean to investigate zooplankton behaviours during the Polar Night.

Laura’s current research involves the use of a copepod life history model to explain the inter-annual variation in the strategies adopted by copepods in the Arctic.

She has Arctic field experience from both Svalbard and the Canadian Arctic (Baffin Island).
