Schulfächer:

Biologie, Chemie, Technik

Gerne berichte ich auch in Grundschulen über mein Forschungsthema.

Gerne berichte ich auch in VHS-Einrichtungen über mein Forschungsthema.

Woran forschen Sie?

My research interest is carbon and carbonate cycling across aquatic systems including coastal ecosystems (estuaries and continental margins) and polar region with particular emphasis on the exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere and on the coupling between inorganic carbon dynamics and biological processes. At the moment, I am working in the "Air-sea gas exchange - Parameterization of the Sea-Surface Microlayer effect"

Warum sind Sie Forscher/in geworden?

I studied Marine Science at University of Cádiz and did my Master and PhD at that University. I then shortly worked in Vigo. I worked as postdoc in Southampton for almost 3 years and now I've been in Germany for almost 2 years.

Welchen Berufswunsch hatten Sie als Kind?

I chose to study marine science at the University of
Cádiz (Spain) because I come from a fishing family on the
Mediterranean island of Ibiza. The sea is all around—in the
family business, hobbies (sailing), spare time (beaches)—in
fact, being more than few days without the sea close by freaks
me out: I miss the smell, I start to get disoriented…
