I run the Coastal Carbon Laboratory (CCL) in the Institute for Coastal Plain Science at Georgia Southern University. Research in the CCL focuses on the carbon cycle in coastal ecosystems such as estuaries, marshes, coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds. We are interested in the role that these ecosystems play in the global carbon cycle, how they will be affected by climate change, and what role they can play in carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. Learn more about the CCL: www.coastalcarbon.org

As a paleoclimatologist, interested in reconstructions of past climates, I conduct research at the interface of geology, chemistry and biology. The main aim of my research is to improve the methods we have for reconstructing climate in the geologic past in high detail. Examples of such high-resolution climate reconstructions include reconstructions of seasonality and decadal variability in climate over long timescales (in "deep time"). Fossil bioarchives such as mollusk shells record changes in the environment in which the animal grew at this fine detail, and therefore form ideal archives for these reconstructions. In my research, I combine detailed analyses of microstructures and chemistry in these fossils as well as in modern organisms to learn more about how the chemistry of these bioarchives records environmental conditions, and how we can use these fossils for accurate reconstructions of high-resolution paleoclimate. In addition, I also strife to improve analytical methods that enable us to measure chemical variability in bioarchives with high precision and accuracy. These methods include stable and clumped isotope analysis, laser ablation ICP-MS and micro X-Ray Fluorescence.

I obtained my PhD at CREAF (Autonomous University of Barcelona, 2016), under the supervision of Prof. Josep Peñuelas and Dr. Sara Vicca. I spent four years at the University of Antwerpen with an FWO fellowship. I returned to Barcelona (CREAF) with a Junior Leader Fellowship, and subsequently I was awarded a Ramón y Cajal (tenure-track) fellowship, which which I joined CREAF. In December 2022 I was also awarded an ERC-Starting Grant.

I am research director at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Ostend, Belgium. While being interested in many aspects of the ocean in the Earth system, my own research focus is set on ocean biogeochemistry and the marine carbon cycle. My expertise ranges from CO2 measurements through big data modelling using artificial neural networks. I am particularly interested in natural and man-made changes in the air-sea CO2 exchange on climate relevant temporal and from local to global spatial scales

My research is driven by my interest in the role of microorganisms in Earth’s carbon cycle. I pursue research questions of broad significance concerning the mechanistic (how?) and quantitative (how much?) influence of microorganisms on the short- and long-term fate of organic carbon in aquatic sediments and the Earth’s crust. This includes the effects of anthropogenic activity on short- and long-term carbon-cycling processes.

With over 10 years of experience in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, I am passionate about understanding how ecosystems function and how they can provide sustainable services to society under climate change and in wider sense on how can we feed the world sustainably and healthy in the coming years? As an Executive Board Member and the Head of the Strategic Research Division Agroecology and Environment at Agroscope, the Swiss Confederation's center of excellence for agricultural research, I lead a team of scientists and experts who work on identifying innovative solutions for the challenges facing the agri-food sector and the environment today and in the future. My core competencies include environmental sciences, biogeochemistry, soil science, ecology, system ecology, education, and mentoring the next generation scientist. I have a Doctor of Science degree in Environmental Science/Agricultural Sciences from ETH Zurich, and I have published >100 papers in peer-reviewed journals on topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, carbon and nitrogen cycles, and ecosystem responses to climate change, sustainable agricultural production and its linkages to animal and human health, agroecological assessment as well as modelling future scenarios. I am also motivated to share my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of researchers, as well as to apply my research findings in the real world together with farmers, advisors and decision makers to support sustainable agriculture and a healthy environment.

I am biogeochemist chairing the Earth Sciences Department of Utrecht University. My research is at the interface of geochemistry, ecology, microbiology, limnology, and oceanography. My research portfolio comprises field studies from the tropics to the poles and from lakes to the deep sea, laboratory and in situ experimentation using stable isotopes as deliberate tracer, and theory and model development to quantify biogeochemical dynamics. My most recent research deals with the biogeochemistry of global inland waters, alkalinity and calcium carbonate dynamics in the ocean and cable bacteria and sponges at the seafloor. Besides publishing articles, I authored a graduate text on Marine Carbon Biogeochemistry (2019) and an introduction text on Thermodynamics and Equilibria in Earth System Sciences (2024).

My work yields insights into climate change impacts on land ecosystems and provides data-informed predictions of how forests and grasslands respond to a climatic extreme events, rising CO2 and changes in nutrient cycles. I use Earth observation data and develop process-based models that are founded on eco-evolutionary optimality principles to explain plant traits and their adaptation and acclimation to the environment. In more data-driven approaches, I apply machine learning and data assimilation techniques using diverse ecological data (ecosystem flux measurements, forest inventories, remote sensing, and manipulation experimental data, etc.). In brief, I build models, as simple as possible and as complex as necessary to learn the most.
