Research area Marine biology – Zooplankton Why is your research important? Zooplankton is one of the main links in marine food chains. As it changes, the ocean changes. As ocean changes, everything changes. What are your personal motivations? The call of adventure. What are you going to do during the cruise onboard r/v Oceanograf? Sampling […]

Marie Hundsdörfer

https://www.eom.uni-kiel.de/de Your research area: Oceanography Optical remote sensing with a focus on coastal areas Why is your research important? Coastal areas are difficult to capture with remote sensing techniques and especially fjord landscapes are affected by sun glint or shadowing effects. We want to optimize our data processing chains with in situ measurements and satellite […]

Aleksandra Malecha-Łysakowska

Research area Marine physics Marine acoustics; main scientific interest is in passive acoustics, i.e. listening to underwater noises and sounds Why is your research important? The measurement made during the cruise will help us compare the biomass of Baltic fish from those in the North and Norwegian Seas. The findings will be compared with those […]

Wojciech Brodziński

Research area Physics Numerical modelling of physical processes taking place in the marine environment Satellite remote sensing as a source of data for calibration and validation of the models Why is your research important? Both the results of numerical modeling and products based on satellite data provide important information on the state of marine environment, […]

Sofía Amieva Mau

Your research area Marine biology Meroplankton, i.e. larvae of benthic organisms, community analysis and their role in the diet of young fish larvae in Vestfjord (sub-Arctic) Why is your research important? Meroplankton is not only an understudied component of the zooplankton community, but also potential prey for fish larvae during their first-feeding event after exhausting […]

Sara Sirviente Alonso

LinkedIn Research area Physical oceanography Coastal dynamics; I’m focused on hydrodynamic behaviour in coastal areas and estuaries Why is your research important? Knowledge and understanding the behavior of water masses, circulation patterns, and vertical mixing in coastal areas is essential to understand the system as a whole. What are your personal motivations? F or an […]

Paweł Tarasiewicz

Research area Marine chemistry – Photochemical transformations of chromophoric dissolved organic matter and photodegradation of organic pollutants Why is your research important? Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important component of matter cycling and microbial loop in aquatic environments and its UV-induced transformations affect its availability for these processes. What are your personal motivations? This […]

Patrycja Płońska

Your research area Marine chemistry – Methylmercury cycling in marine environment Why is your research important? My research is important because it explores how methylmercury interacts with phytoplankton in the Baltic and Nordic Seas—a topic not well understood. This work will enhance our knowledge of methylmercury cycling in these waters, helping develop better strategies to […]

Pablo A. Lara Martín

Research area Environmental Chemistry Why is your research important? My research tries to identify new chemical hazards that can affect both environment and human health. We need to identify emerging contaminants, explore their distribution and environmental behavior (do they persist and/or bioaccumulate?), and measure their impact. What are your personal motivations? As a marine scientist, […]

Marek Kowalewski

Research area Physical oceanography – Numerical modeling of physical processes in the sea and satellite remote sensing Why is your research important? I am interested in hydrodynamic and ecological modeling, as well as satellite data assimilation. Satellite data provide a synoptic view of the ocean, meaning that they enable continuous large-scale observations of many phenomena, […]
