Research theme: Biogeochemistry in aquatic systems, Environmental Geochemistry, Paleoenvironment, Global Change
Research profile:
My research aims to study modern aquatic systems and sedimentary archives as well as sedimentation processes to help interpretation. This approach provides essential information on past and present environmental conditions for those predicting future local and global changes.
We currently have a major ongoing project on the Southern Ocean: Studying biogeochemical cycles to help evaluate potential tools for climate mitigation. Almost all life on Earth depends somehow on photosynthesis fueled by energy from the sun. Growth, which translates into carbon fixation and thus atmospheric CO2 reduction, however, further depends on the availability of macro- and trace nutrients. One of the most famous quotes of early awareness of climate changes and potential mitigation strategies is from John Martin (Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, US, 1988) "Give me half a ship load of iron...I could give you an ice age". In 2013, there is still no scientific consensus, what the consequences of this type of geo-engineering are. We aim to investigate how phytoplankton, acclimatized to current conditions of light and trace metal availability, will most likely respond to predicted future global warming and thus ocean structure changes.
Projects offered in 2023 and 2024 and beyond
- Methylmercury in the Southern Ocean. This project is only available to students wishing to pursue at least into M.Sc. A strong interest in interdisciplinary and international work is requested for these projects as it is a collaborative work with Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography, Marseille, France.
- Southern African dust aerosols: sources, trajectories and impact. This involves analyising their general geochemistry and trace metal composition, and their dissolution kinetics, which leads to study their potential fertilisation and/or inhibitory effects after deposition. A student with an interest in atmospheric sciences is required for this project.
- Algae community composition and adaptation, driving factors and the impact on biogeochemical cycles (including carbon and its impact on the global climate), and/or on marine sediment formation (siliceous ooze, vs. calcareous ooze, for instance). A strong interest in interdisciplinary work, including biological sciences, is requested for this project.
- This project includes a component on the toxic and/or inhibitory impacts of selected trace metals on primary producers.
- Another field of studies relates to paleo-geochemistry and climate reconstructions and establishing or improving tools for paleo-reconstructions. We use organic molecules to reconstruct the climate of the past, understand natural variability to disentangle the current anthropogenic impact. This, in turn, helps to improve the projections of the future.
- In collaboration with Iziko Museum (Dr Eugene Bergh), a project on Miocene to Recent biostratigraphy and marine palaeoenvironments of South Africa is offered. A part of this is also to investigate if we can record the Plio-Pleistocene marine extinction on our margin.
- We also seek support for our study on river pollution and the impact of rainfall events on Western Cape's river water quality. A study conducted in 2016-2018 has revealed interesting trends in the Eerste River and Lourens River and we will extend this study to other rivers of the Western Cape..
- "Testing enhanced weathering as terrestrial Carbon Dioxide Removal strategy in southern Africa"; The simplified idea is to add rock dust (ground rock) to southern African soils in laboratory, column experiments to test the carbon removal potential.
