Research Interests
I am interested in the biogeochemistry of the ocean, especially in nutrient input for phytoplankton and material transport towards the deep sea. In order to identify the processes involved, I work with sediment trap material and bring it together with current-meter and CTD data. I also use satellite observations, i.e. chlorophyll-a, sea surface temperature and salinity, precipitation, and dust to set in-situ findings from the ocean into a broader context.
Current project - EU-ATLAS project
Within the ATLAS project we are working on improving our understanding of complex deep-sea ecosystems in the Atlantic Ocean. The aim is to monitor, model, and predict shifts in deep-water ecosystems in the face of climate change.
