Currently I am interested in understanding how ocean biogeochemical processes controlled the ocean carbon sink and thereby the atmospheric CO2 during the last glacial cycle. I use the comprehensive Max Planck Institute’s Earth System Model to quantify the feedbacks between ocean biogeochemistry and climate in the past.
