The last couple of months I have been working parttime as an analist in the ballwast water treatment facility of Control Union. I was mainly looking into the bacterial community in marine and fresh water, working side by side with Zana Kulbieda and many others of the ballast water team.

Today I am staring my postdoc with Christine Barras at Laboratoire d’études des Bio-Indicateurs Actuels et Fossiles (LPGN-BIAF) in Angers, France!: 

MOXY - Manganese in foraminiferal calcite as a proxy for OXYgen content

I'm super excited to live in this beautiful city, and work with a very accomplished group of scientist!

For the movie click here

Planktonic foraminifera are unicellar organisms, which create a little shell made out of carbonate. Since these shells are used in climate research, a research group of the NIOZ focusses on conducting growth experiments with these foraminifera. They are interested in how foraminifera respond to living in a warmer, saltier or more acidic ocean. In this short movie Alice Webb and Didier de Bakker collect these living planktonic foraminifera while scuba diving near the researchstation CNSI on St. Eustatia. Thereafter, the foraminifera are transferred to the lab, where they are placed in different experimental set-ups.
