Research interests
- Air-sea gas exchange of CO2 and O2 and its impact on the marine carbon cycle in the eastern tropical North Atlantic
- Development and field evaluation of novel autonomous platforms for in situ CO2 and O2 measurements (e.g., profiling floats, moored profiler, wave glider)
- Ship-based (as well as autonomous) biogechemical time-series observations at the Cape Verde Ocean Observatory | CVOO
- Biogeochemistry of open-ocean anoxic/hypoxic mesoscale eddies
