Research Interests

  • Marine C-cycle and biological C-pump
  • Biogeochemical in-situ sensors (e.g., O2, pH, NO3, Chl a, bbp) and platforms (e.g., free-drifting floats)
  • Link of Ocean observing systems:
    Research campaigns (GO-SHIP), voluntary observing ships (VOS, SOCONET), autonomous water column observations (Argo and Biogeochemical-Argo), remote sensing (Ocean Color)
  • Link of Ocean observation & modeling
  • Link of marine research infrastructure & research
