Ian is a postdoctoral scholar researching ocean carbon dioxide removal. He joined ENDLab in 2024 to perform studies that can provide key insights into monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) at a pilot experiment in the port of Los Angeles. This experiment tests a cutting edge direct-ocean-capture technology. Ian’s research fuses in-situ field observations with numerical and analytical modeling techniques to assess carbon drawdown estimates.
