Dissolved and greenhouse gasses and their role to the biogeochemistry of sea water
Dissolved oxygen is an essential element to the survival of most marine organisms, and either the expansion or development of new hypoxic or even anoxic regions will dramatically alter the number of marine organisms. This research theme studies the impact of climate change on the oxygen cycle in the marine and biogeochemical processes in low – oxygen environments, water-sediment interactions and release of gases from benthic environments. The Study of greenhouse gases (primarily CO2 and CH4) and the understanding of the oceanic carbonate system is a priority research theme of the department of marine chemistry.
