Overview

I am a PhD student funded by the Convex Seascape Survey– an ambitious international collaborative investigation of blue carbon on continental shelves. My research “Tracing the origins of blue carbon” will try to answer questions around the rate and nature of carbon sequestration in relation to changing (palaeo)biodiversity in shallow-marine environments of the world.

My background mostly focused on understanding the natural and anthropogenic processes of coastal ecosystem. I worked in different coastal settings, i.e. wetlands, estuaries, etc.  and had the opportunity to work in several collaborative projects funded by the WorldFish, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and Wageningen University, Netherlands.
