I am a curious field biologist and work at the moment mainly with the interaction of hydrography and lower trophic levels (mainly algae) in fjords and Arctic seas (Barents Sea, Arctic Ocean). There, I mainly explore the question how physical drivers and biological interactions impact the organic carbon cycle and the export of organic carbon from the pelagic system to the sea floor.
