BIO

Professor Delphine Lannuzel is a leading expert in the field of marine biogeochemistry, with a particular focus on the interactions between sea ice and the ocean in polar regions. Her pioneering research investigates the role of sea ice as a seasonal reservoir of nutrients and trace metals, a topic which is essential for understanding the biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem dynamics in polar oceans. Professor Lannuzel uses a combination of fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and analytical techniques to elucidate the mechanisms by which trace elements, such as iron, are mobilized within sea ice and subsequently fuel primary productivity in polar waters. She also collaborates with international researchers to model biogeochemical cycles and assess the broader implications for global climate systems. Her work not only enhances our fundamental understanding of polar biogeochemistry but also informs policy and conservation efforts aimed at preserving these vulnerable and critical regions of our planet.
