Tanya Jonas
Senior Analyst

Role:

As Senior Analyst I manage the CPR Analysis Team, the processes involved with CPR Analysis and the laboratory. I presently analyse plankton samples collected by the CPR, from the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Antarctic. In the past I have also analysed samples from the Indian Ocean and the west coast of Africa. I write technical reports on the CPR analysis results and have contributed to a number of peer reviewed publications.
