Research Interest

I am broadly interested in ocean biogeochemistry, and how ocean biogeochemistry interacts with the climate system. My focus lies on including microbial processes into biogeochemical ocean models.

Current Projects

  • Drivers behind the DOC distribution in the global ocean – present and future (MWK)
  • Global Carbon Cycling and Complex Molecular Patterns in Aquatic Systems: Integrated Analyses Powered by Semantic Data Management (funded by MWK/Volkswagen Foundation)
  • A novel approach to quantify global oceanic emissions of carbonyl sulfide (COS) (funded by MWK/Volkswagen Foundation)
  • Interaction networks of phototroph-heterotroph microbial communities (funded by Simons Foundation, USA)
