Biography

Caroline Slomp is a Professor of Microbiology at Radboud University, specializing in the biogeochemistry of coastal marine ecosystems. Her research is aimed at enhancing the understanding of element cycling in aquatic ecosystems, particularly focusing on key elements such as carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and trace metals. Slomp's work is interdisciplinary, combining field studies, laboratory experiments, and integrated modeling to examine processes over spatial and temporal scales, including historical geological events. A significant component of her research addresses the biogeochemical processes affecting microbiology in coastal regions like the Baltic Sea and Black Sea, specifically in response to environmental perturbations such as eutrophication, deoxygenation, and climate change. She has been recognized with several prestigious research grants, including an ERC Synergy grant and a Vici grant from NWO, reflecting her contributions to the field of marine biogeochemistry and environmental science.
