Introduction
I'm interested in marine biogeochemical cycles and utilize regional and global models in my research. My previous work was related to zooplankton dynamics and carbon export within global modeling frameworks.

The particulate organic carbon (POC) flux from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean is central to the biological carbon pump. It is typically evaluated using “export efficiency” and “transfer efficiency,” which reflect POC formation and sinking and carbon sequestration efficiency in the ocean's interior, respectively. Since observations of these met...

The Arctic experiences climate changes that are among the fastest in the world and affect all Earth system components. Despite expected increase in terrigenous inputs to the Arctic Ocean, their impacts on biogeochemical cycles are currently largely neglected in IPCC-like models. Here we used a state-of-the-art high-resolution ocean biogeochemistry...

The cycling of carbon in the oceans is affected by feedbacks driven by changes in climate and atmospheric CO2. Understanding these feedbacks is therefore an important prerequisite for projecting future climate. Marine biogeochemistry models are a useful tool but, as with any model, are a simplification and need to be continually improved. In this s...
Article
Full-text available
Zooplankton plays a notable role in ocean biogeochemical cycles. However, it is often simulated as one generic group and top closure term in ocean biogeochemical models. This study presents the description of three zooplankton functional types (zPFTs, micro‐, meso‐ and macrozooplankton) in the ocean biogeochemical model FESOM‐REcoM. In the presente...

Macrozooplankton and its grazing pressure shape ecosystem structures and carbon pathways in the Southern Ocean. Here, we present the implementation of “polar macrozooplankton” as a plankton functional type and a related fast‐sinking detritus class (fecal pellets) into the biogeochemical model REcoM‐2. We use the model to assess major carbon pathway...
