Projekte:

My research is focused on nutrient cycles on glacial environments. I study both macro and micro nutrient on glacial surfaces (Svalbard) and along glacial rivers (Iceland), analysing their concentration and speciation. The aim of the project is to check whether these chemical species undergo major changes and transformation due to abiotic and biotic processes before reaching the ocean. 

My project is part of the EU funded IceBio MSCA network, comprised of both glacial microbiology and geochemistry PhD students: https://www.icebio.eu/pages/project/about-icebio.html
