Main Research Interests

  • Marine nitrogen cycle
  • Nutrient cycling across the chemocline in the water column and sediments
  • Natural abundance isotope fractionation
  • Fate of nitrate in ground-waters entering the marine environment
  • Paleao-variations in availability nutrients the South Atlantic by using natural abundance nitrogen isotopes

Specialization

  • High resolution marine chemistry
  • Natural abundance stable isotopes (nitrogen and carbon)
  • Labelling (15-Nitrogen-compound) incubations to determine rates and biochemical reactions
  • Masspectrometry
