Dr. Pamela Rossel Cartes
Funktion und Aufgaben:
I am postdoctoral scientist at the Interface Geochemistry (Section 3.5). I am currently evaluating the dissolved organic matter (DOM) cycled on glaciers.
Online presence:
Wissenschaftliche Interessen:
I am interested in organic geochemistry, particularly in the production, transformation, and fluxes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the environment. I use mass spectrometric analysis to study the composition of a wide variety of samples (e.g. hydrothermal fluids and sediment pore water), and statistical methods to associate their composition with the environmental characteristics.
