Mark Baird

Mark Baird
Biological oceanographer - salp biology
University of NSW

Mark Baird is a biological oceanographer who uses a combination of numerical modelling and field observations to understand the population dynamics of plankton in waters off southeast Australia. Mark has configured a high resolution numerical model of the marine food web and carbon chemistry in order to understand the fluxes of biologically active elements such as carbon and nitrogen.

In 2004 and 2006 he was aboard UNSW research voyages when observations were made of the Tasman Front and Lord Howe Rise respectively. The 2008 voyage is a chance to expand the scope of Mark's research to include the amazing gelatinous organisms, the salps, and to focus on the complex flows in the Stockton Bight.
