Danny McCulloch

Danny is an Astrophysics Masters by Research student working on adapting the Met Office UM to create an idealised modern-day Mars GCM. This will include: a dynamic dust scheme with Martian dust sizes, an idealised orography, an idealised CO2 ice scheme, a simplified Martian atmospheric composition (95% CO2, 5% N), average Martian surface pressure of 610 Pa, and Martian atmospheric moisture quantities. He graduated in 2020 with a BSc in Zoology from the University of Exeter. His dissertation focused on chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean and its interactions on annular sea ice changes. His previous work has involved designing experiments to visually demonstrate fluid dynamics for teaching, and monitoring sulfate shipping pollution in the Arctic Ocean.
