Sources and Composition of Southern Ocean Ice Nucleating Particles during CAPRICORN-2 and SOCRATES
Professor Andrew Bowie is a Chemical Oceanographer. His research investigates the biogeochemistry of trace elements in Southern Ocean and Antarctic sea ice environments, with projects addressing key research questions related to atmospheric dust deposition and solubilities, ocean iron fertilisation, physico-chemical speciation of trace elements and their isotopes, and the role of ocean dynamics on chemical and biological marine processes. His research outcomes are focused on assessment of trace element control of ocean productivity, ocean carbon sequestration and expanding our knowledge of marine geochemical processes. His research is supported by the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP), the Australian Research Council (ARC), and several national and international collaborative grants.


Andrew has provided leadership of international chemical oceanography research expeditions, was co-chair of the Scientific Steering Committee and Data Management Committee of the 'GEOTRACES' program (an international study of the global marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes), and has served as Associate and Guest Editor for several scientific journals. He was an ARC Future Fellow (2013-2019) and is currently co-leader of AAPP Project 5 'Biogeochemistry'. Andrew joined IMAS in 2012, and has worked at the University of Tasmania since 2001. He completed his PhD in Chemical Oceanography in 1999 from the University of Plymouth (UK).
