Postdoctoral researchers
Astrid Hylén
Astrid focusses on the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients in marine sediments, using tools like flux measurements (in situ and ex situ) and isotope tracers.
Matthias Kreuzburg
Matthias is facinated by the biogeochemical processes, solute fluxes and flow paths between the terrestrial and the marine environment and across the sediment water interface.
PhD scientists
Luna Geerts
Luna focusses on building a model framework that allows us to quantitatively predict the potential of coastal enhanced silicate weathering in removing CO2.
