Main research interests

  • Structure and function of marine sediments, in particular:
    - how are microbial conversions controlled by transport processes
    - how can we explain the distribution of microbial species
  • Microbial conversions:
    -photosynthesis and calcification
    -anaerobic microbial nitrogen, carbon and sulphur conversions
  • Studies on hot spots (seeps), microbial mats, biofilms
