Dr Gerard McCarthy
Biography
Gerard McCarthy is an oceanographer working in ICARUS (Irish Climate Research and Analysis Unit) in the Department of Geography at Maynooth University, where he leads a team of ten oceanographers and climate scientists.
His research interests are in the role of the ocean in climate, specialising in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), with particular interest in evolution of the AMOC in the 20th century. Since starting work in Maynooth in late 2017, he has worked on piecing together Ireland’s sea level change since the mid-19th century.
Gerard previously worked at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK, where he worked with the RAPID team measuring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
His research interests are in the role of the ocean in climate, specialising in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), with particular interest in evolution of the AMOC in the 20th century. Since starting work in Maynooth in late 2017, he has worked on piecing together Ireland’s sea level change since the mid-19th century.
He leads the A4 project funded by the Marine Institute, is co-Investigator on EirOOS—an Irish ocean observing system, and a Funded Investigator on the SFI-funded iCRAG, and a member of the Línte na Farraige project. He leads a workpackage on the JPI Oceans and Climate project ROADMAP. He has been involved in a number of European Commission funded projects including the Thor, NACLIM, and Blue-Action.
He teaches oceanography modules on both the Geography undergraduate curriculum and on the MSc in Climate Change. He is a keen ocean-going scientist and has taught on a number of field courses including participation in the SMART sea school training on the Celtic Voyager from 2018-2021.

Teaching Interests
There are three strands to my teaching: traditional undergraduate lectures (GY369 Oceanography), lecture and computer-practical based postgraduate (GY667 The Ocean and Climate Change), and field skills (GY671 Field Course, GY206 Field Course).
In 2022/23, I will be developing a new module for the MSc Climate Change called 'Climate Science in Action'
GY369: Oceanography, 2018-present, co-ordinator and lecturer
GY667: The Ocean and Climate Change (MSc), 2019-present, co-ordinator and lecturer
GY671: Field Course (MSc), SMART Sea School on the Celtic Voyager, 2018-2021
GY206: Field Course, 2nd year, 2018
