I work within the ERC Diol and my main focus is the study of terrigenous diols and their impact on the marine realm, especially on the applicability of the diols indices.

My main research areas are:

• The Rhine, Godavari and Danube rivers (in collaboration with U. Utrecht and ETH Zurich)
• The Gulf of Lion, Amazon shelf, Kara Sea and Berau delta
• The Okhotsk Sea (in collaboration with U. Cambridge)
• The Arabian Sea (in collaboration with the BGR)
• The Baltic Sea
• The Zambezi and Nile river mouths (in collaboration with U. Tubingen and MARUM)

I workd in multiple fields, from extracting lipids from marine sediments to extracting DNA from river water flters but also analysing marine surface sediments, riverine sediments and riverine water. Multi proxies study allow us to better understand a complex system.

Cruise/Field work:

• 2017- cruise with the R/V Pelagia to the Black Sea (64PE418): Anoxic environments. Blog: https://www.nioz.nl/en/blog/niozatsea
• 2016-field trip to the Rhine River to sample water to enravel the mysteries of the diols.

Awards
