Main Research Interests

  • Primary Productivity (PP) in the central Arctic Ocean: water column, sea ice and melt ponds
  • Limiting factors for PP: light and nutrients (Photosynthesis-Irradiance
    curves and mesocosmos bioassays)
  • Key arctic microorganisms for carbon fixation: diatoms, flagellates and
    cyanobacteria
  • Carbon transfer from autotrophs to heterotrophic bacteria
