Alex Hayward
Earth system scientist, polar climate researcher, and photographer based in Copenhagen.
About
I work on Arctic and Antarctic marine systems, with a focus on satellite Earth observation, ocean ecology, and climate-driven change. My research explores how marine ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions, particularly in polar regions.
Photography is an extension of the same instinct to look closely at the world — documenting the places and processes I study, from fieldwork in the Arctic to broader travel and nature work.
