Introduction
I finished my Master's at the University of Hamburg and moved to Hobart (Tasmania) to do my PhD at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS).
This project aims to quantify the iron content and variability in zooplankton and determine its relation to environmental conditions and zooplankton physiological requirements.
I bring extensive experience in field-going expeditions, having accumulated over 300 days at sea as part of different multidisciplinary project.

Under the umbrella of SPACES (Science Partnerships for the Adaptation to Complex Earth System Processes in Southern Africa), several marine projects have been conducted to study the coastal upwelling area off southwestern Africa, the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS). The BUS is economically important for the bordering countries due to its large fish...
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) can increase the transfer and stock of organic carbon (OC) in the surrounding sediments during their operational phase, while their construction and decommissioning release carbon. To answer the question whether sediments of OWFs trap more OC than they release, we estimate the net carbon effect over the entire life cycle...
There was no single work area because of the different foci of the individual research projects. The first area of interest was the open South Atlantic far away from any continental influence. This region at 32-34°S and 4-8°E is characterized by a flat seabed of approximately 5000 m water depth where the variability of the internal wave energy flux...

The TRAFFIC project (Trophic Transfer efficiency in the Benguela Current) is investigating processes that drive the trophic systems of the northern and southern Benguela Upwelling Systems (nBUS and sBUS) and associated feedbacks to fisheries and climate.
Despite similar upwelling volumes and similar primary production rates, the sBUS is currently f...
