Forschung

Ich bin Wissenschaftler und möchte verstehen, wie die Biologie und Chemie der Ozeane durch Umweltveränderungen wie Verschmutzung und Klima beeinflusst werden. Ich verwende globale Erdsystem-Klimamodelle, um ihre Reaktion und die damit verbundenen Rückkopplungen auf das Klimasystem der Erde vorherzusagen. Meine Forschung konzentriert sich auf die Analyse und Interpretation von Elementar-Isotopenverhältnissen, um Einblicke in den biogeochemischen Kreislauf der Meere und die Ökosystemdynamik im modernen Ozean sowie während vergangener Klimawandelereignisse zu gewinnen, die in Ozeansedimenten aufgezeichnet wurden. Dies hilft uns, die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die Meeresbiologie und -chemie besser zu verstehen und somit unsere Vorhersagen für den zukünftigen Ozean und das Klima zu verbessern.

Forschungsinteressen

  • Rückwirkungen des Klimawandels auf die marine Biogeochemie in der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft des Ozeans
  • Auswirkungen anthropogener Nährstoffverunreinigungen auf die Desoxygenierung der Ozeane und die marinen Ökosysteme
  • Ko-Limitierung des marinen Phytoplanktonwachstums durch Nährstoffe
  • Isotopische Einschränkungen und Erkenntnisse über den biogeochemischen Kreislauf im Ozean und die Dynamik mariner Ökosysteme
  • Entwicklung von biogeochemischen Ozean-, Ökosystem- und Erdsystemmodellen
