Research Focus
- Microbial Community Dynamics in Response to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement
- Implications of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement for Nitrification
- Investigating Preferential Nitrogen Degradation of Particulate Organic Matter under Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement
Projects
Exploring the microbial response to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE), based on mesocosm experiments conducted within the Ocean Alk-Align project (Carbon to Sea Initiative) and OceanNETs (EU Horizon 2020).
The Ocean Alk-Align project examines the efficiency, durability, environmental safety, and MRV requirements of OAE.
OceanNETs explores the feasibility and potential impacts of ocean-based negative emission technologies (NETs) as climate mitigation tools.
My Supervisors
- Prof. Dr. Tony Gutierrez (Heriot-Watt University)
- Prof. Dr. Phil Renforth (Heriot-Watt University)
- Prof. Dr. David Needham (GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel)
