Expertise
I am interested in the linkage between organic matter and microbes across aquatic ecosystems, mostly in the ocean. In particular, I look at how heterotrophic microbes (bacteria and archaea) shape organic matter quality and how this affects key processes: Light transmission through the water column, carbon and particle vertical fluxes, air-sea interactions, microbial colonization and structuring. I test how these processes occur in a climate change context; looking at effects of e.g. aerosol inputs, UV radiation, temperature, or ice melting. Although not exclusively, I focus my research in areas that are particularly vulnerable to global change: The Mediterranean Sea and polar oceans (both Arctic and Antarctic), and I combine in situ observations (timeseries, oceanographic cruises) with laboratory incubations with model organisms.
