Welcome, visitors!

I lead the Biogeochemistry Laboratory within the Department of Earth Science and am a Theme leader (Fluids to Life) within the Centre for Deep Sea Research (successor to the Centre for Geobiology). My group and I conduct research on a variety of hydrothermal and inorganic-organic geochemistry topics that include:

• biogeochemical processes controlling the formation and evolution of seafloor hot spring fluids and their inorganic-organic chemistry
• the chemistry of carbon compounds and carbon-sulfur interactions in hydrothermal settings and petroleum systems
• exploration and sampling of new hydrothermal systems in the deep ocean
• the organic geochemistry and biogeochemistry of hydrothermal chimney structures
• laboratory simulations (experiments) of hydrothermal fluid processes to test hypotheses for natural systems
• developing techniques for novel dissolved organic analytes to expand our understanding of hydrothermal organic chemistry

Since 2023, I am a collaborating member of the Centre for Early Sapiens Behaviour (SapienCE Centre of Excellence), together with Postdoctoral Fellow Samuel Pereira in my group, applying organic geochemical (GC-MS) biomarker techniques in our laboratory to aid SapienCE in understanding South African paleoenvironmental change. I also now collaborate with the Center for Modelling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics (Dept. of Mathematics, UiB) on experimental hydrothermal geochemistry.

Current Lab Members:

• Samuel I. Pereira (Postdoctoral Fellow)
• Thomas Ø. Viflot (Ph.D. Candidate)
• Thilde Voje (Ph.D. Candidate)
• Chanakan Boonnawa (Ph.D. Candidate)

Short Biography:

As the Associate Professor in Aqueous Geochemistry, I'm a permanent faculty member here at the Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen since 2015, and also a long-term Guest Investigator at the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).

From 2013-2015, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) Department at MIT, in the lab group of Prof. Shuhei Ono. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (University of Bremen, 2010-2013) and an MIT/WHOI Joint Program graduate student at WHOI (Ph.D. 2010). I did my M.Sc. in Geochemistry at the University of Leeds (2004) and my B.Sc. in Geological Oceanography (2002) at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, U.K.
