Professional biography
Dr Mark Brandon
I am a polar oceanographer interested in the interaction of the ocean with the cryosphere, and have currently published more than 30 research articles in this area. If you are interested in my research citation metrics you could look at ResearchID, or go to Google Scholar.
My main teaching contribution is to the Environmental Awards area of the University curriculum and in November 2012 I won the Times Higher Education Award for "Most Innovative Teacher of the year" (official citation). I have also won three Open University Teaching Awards for my work.
Research interests
My research interests are Antarctic polar oceanography. My particular strengths have been cross disciplinary work and use of robotic and remote sensing technologies. I have active collaborations with Germans, Japanese, American and of course British researchers. For a full list of my publications please look on Open Research online. One aspect of my research was reported by the BBC in 2010 as Giant icebergs head to watery end at island graveyard here - and for a couple of days the story was one of the most popular on the BBC website.If you are interested in things like citation metrics then apparently I have a H index of 23 to 25 (depending on which database you look at) - but I would not be so bold as to suggest what this means I am like as a scientist.
I am a member of the NERC Peer Review College, and have sat on many grant panels acting as Vice Chair on many occasions. I was also co-chair of the NERC Ice Sheet Stability Expert Group with Professor Tony Payne (Bristol).
Teaching interests
I have worked on the Environmental Science curriculum. The courses I have contributed to include:
The first level module S175 The Frozen Planet. This course won an OU teaching award for excellence.
The first level module U116 Environment: journeys through a changing world. This course won an OU teaching award for excellence.
The second level module U216 Environment.
The second level module S216 Environmental science.
The third level module S330 Oceanography.
The third level module U316 The Environmental Web. This course won an OU teaching award for excellence.
The MSc course S808 Earth Systems Science
External to the Open University
In 2005 and 2007 I lectured about The Cryosphere at the NERC funded QUEST Earth Systems Science Summer School with Professor Martin Siegert and Dr Finlo Cottier.
I was also a member of the Module team which put together the FutureLearn course Exploring our oceans.
