Geologist goes swimming: working on natural and enhanced silicate weathering @UUEarthSciences | interested in silica-carbon coupling, CDR and stable isotopes

Joined July 2020
So happy to announce that our #PRELIFE consortium was awarded🥳In one of 16 projects on the emergence of life, I will investigate the onset of silicate weathering and its coupling to ocean chemistry. For the silica lovers: special emphasis on reverse weathering😉@UUEarthSciences

Btw: Clays, clays, clays! triggers directly ⛵️Boats! Boats! Boats!⛵️ Oh dear...😅🤪😵‍💫 Who knows what I'm talking about? Same effect?😏
Clays, clays, clays! Clays are complicated, but this paper does a nice job framing some of these complications using ISOTOPES (of silicon)! 👏! For all those interested in 'enhanced' 🪨🌧️ for CDR, these are the sorts of papers you should be👀! Ask yourself how your MRV is going to keep track of all the alkalinity passing through clays!

Thanks for the nice words! Highly appreciate it! Using your comment to link 'my' CDR community to it. Can only emphasize: BEWARE of CLAYS and CO2 release during formation! #CDR #ERW #oae @MEVorrath @CDRmare @UUEarthSciences @_david_ho_ @bach_lennart @GEOMAR_en @AOschlies

Good to note as well: Abstract deadline is already THIS FRIDAY (29.03.)! 😅🤪 So, put your data in a nice abstract and let's discuss it together @goldschmidt2024 ! 👇👇👇
Working on Earth's alkalinity budget, climate and #CO2 cycling? AND thinking about joining the @goldschmidt2024 conference? Then check out our session (#8b): conf.goldschmidt.info/goldsc… ⛰️🌊⛰️🌊⛰️🌊⛰️🌊⛰️🌊⛰️ @UUEarthSciences @GEOMAR_en @CDRmare @CDRterra

So happy to be part of this and contribute to two chapters in this Guide to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement discussing mesocosm research and technical aspects of OAE with @MKreuzburg @patgra6 and many more. @UUEarthSciences 👇👇👇
Introducing the "Best Practices Guide to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement Research," co-led by Prof. Dr. Andreas Oschlies & Prof. Dr. Jean-Pierre Gattuso. 🚀 Join us at COP28 in Dubai on Dec 2, 2023, for the official launch. More: bit.ly/3uAcfvj

Well done, Michi!👍 Our latest study highlights the challenges associated with the detection of mineral dissolution in the context of #CDR due to high natural background fluxes🌊 @GEOMAR_en @CDRmare @UUEarthSciences Check out our results of benthic incubation experiments👇👇👇

Exciting PhD opportunities are now released for 2024 IAPETUS DTP funding. Come and work with me @DurUniEarthSci along with @PrytulakJt, @RajicKristijan, Geoff Nowell and Laura Hepburn @SUERC1 on the Mariana Forearc using novel isotope geochemistry iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/…

Great idea @climatejesper, thanks for making the effort👍👍👍 ! I really appreciate this compilation as it is really difficult to keep track in this quickly evolving #CDR field! @CDRmare @UUEarthSciences

Interested in marine silicate weathering? Then check out our new paper! 🐠🐟🐡 🌊⛰️🌊 Hmm, quite tricky to find pics for mineral-water reactions in the water column and at the seafloor 😅 @UUEarthSciences @GEOMAR_en ajs.scholasticahq.com/articl…

ClimateZone: t = -2days! Unless humanity drastically reduces its greenhouse gas emissions, global warming is unstoppable, with unpredictable consequences. Our goal is to make climate change impacts perceivable in a creative-poetic way. klimaschoenheit.org/ @MarleneWall19

ClimateZone: t = - 3days! We, the Institute of Climate Beauty, are getting ready! In Kiel this and next weekend (16./17.+34./24.09.)? Then come and visit us at the Kielline, close to the aquarium. Preserving climate beauty instead of managing climate crises!
