About me
My group investigates how carbon moves through sensitive ecosystems at the frontlines of climate change: Arctic permafrost, Greenland fjords, and tropical wetlands. We combine field expeditions, sediment archives, and molecular biogeochemical proxies to answer one central question: how is the global carbon cycle is now responding to rapid warming, how did it respond in the past and what does that mean for future methane and CO₂ emissions?
Current projects:
- Tracking the effect of glacier melt in Greenlandic fjords:
- GREENCARB will sail to East Greenland on board RV Skagerak in August 2026, Where is RV Skagerak right now!
- Past campaigns: 2025 campaign
- Carbon cycling in the Okavango Delta, and the effect of drought on carbon export and burial
- Mackenzie River monitoring, supporting long-term monitoring of particulate organic carbon and its isotopes in a project led by AWI Potsdam
- Reconstructing (past) methane production and oxidation in the Canadian Arctic.
- Arctic terrestrial carbon, from source to sink (projects PeCaBeau, FLO CHAR)
- Investigating methane emission from aquatic systems: What happens to coastal lakes when sea-level rises?

The team:
Lukas Bigler: PhD student "Effect of glacial meltwater on East Greenland fjords"
Antonia Klatt: Postdoctorate researcher investigating past methane dynamics in the Canadian Arctic
Join the group!
- Bachelor and master thesis projects: Some past subjects: "Carbon content and sources in the Last Ice Area", "Linking organic carbon burial, vegetation, and fires", "Future of methane emission from coastal Arctic lakes".
- Postdoctorate position: Write a Marie-Curie Fellowship to join the group, we offer great support!
New publications:
- Thermogenic methane beneath the northern Greenland Ice Sheet revealed by isotopic and geological evidence (in print)
-Holocene sea ice and paleoenvironment conditions in the Beaufort Sea
2025 summer sampling in Tuktoyaktuk
I teach during the master in atmosphere, biogeochemistry and climate:
- I am the course coordinator for MI7023 (Laboratory method in environmental sciences), and MI8017 (Environmental biogeochemistry):
- Environmental biogeochemistry: we will talk about carbon dynamics in a changing world,
-Laboratory method in environmental sciences: My course emphasize hands-on work, students design real experiments and collect samples in the field. They run their experiment independantly in small groups, share their results with others during small speed-talks.
- Environmental field studies: we will sample freshwater and marine environment.
