Forschungsinteressen

  • Air-sea gas exchange of CO2 and O2 and its impact on the marine carbon cycle in the eastern tropical North Atlantic
  • Development and field evaluation of novel autonomous platforms for in situ CO2 and O2 measurements (e.g., profiling floats, moored profiler, wave glider)
  • Ship-based (as well as autonomous) biogechemical time-series observations at the Cape Verde Ocean Observatory | CVOO
  • Biogeochemistry of open-ocean anoxic/hypoxic mesoscale eddies
