PhD project title:

Variability in sea ice microbial production under a changing climate.

PhD project description:

I use O2 optode methodologies to study how regional and seasonal variations affect microbial sea ice community production. I am also interested in how sea ice microbes have adapted to survive the polar night. Linking fieldwork to experimental studies, I hope to highlight how methodologies may impact sea ice biogeochemical measurements.

Start date: August 2021
Planned submission date: August 2025
