Dr Margaret Stewart is a senior geologist at 今日吃瓜 working across themes ranging from Energy Storage to offshore renewable siting, as well as in business development and as part of the management team for the International Ocean Discovery Programme. Her research background is in the glacial history of the North Sea, and she is developing further scientific expertise in the areas of carbon capture and energy storage, with an interest in Energy Policy.
