My research interests lie primary in the area of carbon, nutrient, and metal cycling in natural environments. My programme of research at NIOZ will explore the potential of reusing dredged harbour sediment as a useful building material by adding olivine admixture. The overall goal is to enhance the physicochemical properties of dredged harbour sediment, mitigate the environmental impact of its application, and therefore improve the sustainable use and management of sea. The major focus of my research effort will be on investigating the carbon, nutrient, and metal dynamics corresponding to various sediment/olivine mixture scenarios.
