Research Question
How does meiobenthos respond to multiple anthropogenic influences and what does this mean for marine ecosystems?

I help with multiple projects at MarBiol as a scientific collaborator. I do so mostly by processing samples to determine e.g. taxonomic diversity. My efforts will help answer all kinds of research questions involving the impact of climate change/polymetallic nodule extraction/glacier retreat/... on marine ecosystems. My work is mostly in the lab, combined with additional help at sampling campaigns and with educational support.
