Education: Ph.D. School of Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, UK
Research Interests: My principal research interests lie in the cycling of metals, nutrients, carbon and sulfur as they relate
to the Earth’s biogeochemical evolution. In my research I study chemical and isotopic tracers in the
ocean, lakes and rivers to gain a better understanding how the interactions between physical,
chemical and biological processes are recorded in modern sediments and ancient sedimentary rocks.
Further, I am interested how changes in biogeochemical cycles may be related to anthropogenic
perturbations, global climate change, the evolving ocean and atmosphere and the early evolution of
life.
