Research Focus
Marine Geology • Seafloor Imaging • Geomorphology • Hydrothermalism • Volcanology • Tectonics
Senior researcher with a strong focus on geodynamic processes of the ocean floor, particularly in the Red Sea and other slow-spreading rifts, intraplate volcanism and hydrothermal processes.
A scientist with a strong background in ocean mapping, structural and tectonic interpretation, geomorphology and cartography, sub-seafloor imaging and experience in mineralogy, petrology and (isotope)geochemistry.
Explorer with experience from >30 seagoing and interdisciplinary expeditions to all major oceans including the Arctic on international research vessels with experience in hydroacoustic seafloor mapping, sub-bottom profiling and seismics, seafloor rock and sediment sampling, deeps sea video and photo observations, habitat mapping as well as the utilization of state-of-the-art large seagoing equipment such as ROV, AUV, and drilling.
