Exciting news! My project “Alkalinity generation in eelgrass: An overlooked mechanism for carbon sequestration?” has been awarded a Swedish Research Council Starting Grant (SEK 4.8 million). A PhD position will open soon in marine biogeochemistry and carbon cycling.

I am delighted to invite you to our Beyond Blue Carbon session at the EGU conference (3-8th May 2026, Vienna and Online) that aim to bridging disciplines to understand Blue carbon ecosystems dynamics, notably under global change.

Fieldwork at Gotland exploring natural and artificial ocean alkalinity enhancement.

At the Marine Science Department’s 10-year anniversary, I was interviewed as a panelist on future research and organized a fun photo challenge.

Busy week Fucus sampling with our colleagues @gloriareithmaier.bsky.social @lies-nerd.bsky.social @karikaphegyi.bsky.social and lots of others for #Fubluc and getting ready for outreach with kids for #TheOceanRaceEurope @geomarkiel.bsky.social

Third time at Geomar, testing how warming affects Fucus carbon budgets using Kiel outdoor benthocosms (KOB).

Exploring macroalgae biogeochemistry at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory within 3 BSc projects. Rock pools, lab experiments, and automated DIC sampling.

Proud to receive a scholarship from King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 50th Anniversary Fund for my research on climate benefits of seaweed farming. H.M. the King presented the certificate himself, an inspiring recognition for #BlueCarbon research.

Honored to be invited to speak at #OCB2025 for the session "Rivers to Coasts: Biogeochemical Linkages and Environmental Resilience." Fantastic discussions on blue carbon budgets.

#EGU25 was a great experience! I gave a keynote on how climate change will impact mangrove habitats, participated in a panel discussion on ECR in #BlueCarbon science, and even got to spontaneously chair the Beyond Blue Carbon session. Grateful to have shared these moments with my family by my side.

Lots of cool barefoot lab presentations @EGU25 next week! Pop in and say hello!
