My research investigates past ocean and climate changes using microfossil geochemistry, morphology imaging, and climate model simulations. I explore variations in temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients during key late Quaternary intervals, from the Last Interglacial to the Holocene. By developing and refining proxies that link microfossil chemistry and morphology to environmental conditions, I reveal how rapid climate shifts shaped ocean circulation, oxygenation, and ecosystems.

My interdisciplinary, international collaborations have advanced knowledge of past ocean circulation and climate. I have worked with micropaleontologists and geochemistists at Hamburg University, climate modelers at Stockholm University and MPI to integrate proxy reconstructions with simulations, and with synchrotron scientists at DESY and Soleil to develop novel imaging techniques. I am currently collaborating with sedaDNA researchers at GEUS and Copenhagen University to link ocean circulation with ecosystem change.
