I studied marine sciences and have worked on the global and Southern Ocean carbon cycle using repeat observations, global ocean biogeochemical models, and data and model analysis. My main interest is to understand mechanisms behind variability and change of ocean-atmosphere and ocean interior carbon fluxes. Right now, I’m analyzing the carbon cycle in Fesom-REcoM and processing the different inputs to the ocean carbon sink estimate in the Global Carbon Budget.

My background includes investigation of the circulation dynamics in the Turkish Strait System and the relation between the unstructured mesh technology and the ocean circulation variability on a global scale.
Right now I am working on coupling between sea ice/ocean/atmosphere/marine biogeochemistry; AWI-CM-REcoM (AWI-ESM/ECHAM6-FESOM-RECOM) model development and analysis; and high resolution marine biogeochemical simulations with FESOM-1.4-RECOM

I monitor physical changes in the Arctic environment (Ocean currents, water masses, mesoscale features, mixing, sea ice…) and study their impacts on phytoplankton dynamics (biomass, primary productivity, phenology, spatial distribution, composition, trends …). I used a collection of tools from in situ data (autonomous or traditional platforms) to remote sensing (ocean color, altimetry, infrared) but I am currently focusing more on BGC modelling in the framework of the H2020 COMFORT project.

I have a background in physical oceanography and biogeochemical modeling. My main interests are marine carbon and nutrient cycling and how ocean physics and biology interact to shape the distribution of these elements, particularly in the Southern Ocean. In my current project, I use the model FESOM-REcoM to quantify carbon fluxes in the Weddell Sea, with the aim to assess possible tipping points in Antarctic Bottom Water formation and carbon sequestration.

I am physical oceanographer with a background in numerical modeling and some experience in collecting hydrographic data in the field. In past projects I have used a very high-resolution regional model and observational data to study a shallow bay in the USA and a global climate model focusing on the realistic simulation of the Arctic climate and Arctic Ocean. Currently, I work in the EU-project OceanNETs which studies the possibilities and challenges of ocean-based negative emission technologies (NETs), specifically the feasibility of a technique called ocean alkalinity enhancement. I simulate ocean alkalinity enhancement with AWI’s coupled climate biochemical model AWI-CM1-REcoM and investigate the impact of this measure on the global carbon cycle and the marine ecosystem.

I'm a marine biologist. While during my Master thesis, I worked on local observations of the carbon cycle in polar environments, I switched to global modelling of biogeochemical cycles for my PhD. I'm interested in the investigation of the impacts of multiple ecosystem drivers on phytoplankton by assessing current literature and by implementing these effects into the biogeochemical model REcoM.

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's degree in oceanography. I worked on the implementation of Antarctic krill to global biogeochemical model REcoM coupled with FESOM during my master thesis. Currently, I am working on the implementation of different zooplankton groups to REcoM. I have an interest in data analysis and numerical modeling.

I studied Climate Physics. In my master thesis, I quantified the effect of recent climate change on oceanic CO2 uptake in a global ocean biogeochemistry model. Now, for the PhD project, I study the global air-sea flux of CO2 using data assimilation into the model FESOM-REcoM, working also in the AWI’s Data Assimilation group.

I have a bachelor with Physics major and have a master degree in Atmospheric Sciences. For my master thesis I examined the decadal variability of the carbon cycle in the Indian Ocean region. For the Ph.D. I am doing Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling for Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement in deep and bottom water formation regions. I study the efficiency of carbon dioxide sequestration in the ocean and the side effects of Alkalinity Enhancement on the ocean ecosystem.
