Examples for our research interests are:  

Quantification of the particle fluxes through the ocean by analysis of natural radionuclides like Th, Pa, Pb.

Production and fate of methane and DMS in surface waters and its significant for air sea exchange.

Release of gases and fluids from sediments (e.g. at gas flares or pockmarks) and its impact on the composition of the water column.

Studies about the age and origin or organic matter found in sediments, which provides a valuable tool for the understanding of sedimentation processes, delivery mechanisms and turnover rates.

Assessment of fluxes and turnover processes of nutrient and trace components along the  sediment water transition zone (SWTZ).

Quantification of early diagenetic overprint of proxies used for reconstructions of paleoenvironments.

Spatial quatification of gas and fluid resease by means of GIS-based multivariate analysis.
