Sietske Batenburg is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, starting in 2024. She has a strong research interest in past greenhouse climates and oceanography, with a special focus on the Late Cretaceous and Eocene epochs. Her work involves an integrated stratigraphic approach to investigate the role of orbital forcing on past climates and the expression of sedimentary cyclicity to refine the Geologic Time Scale. Batenburg also explores the role of oceans in past greenhouse climates, utilizing radiogenic isotope proxies, particularly neodymium, to reconstruct deep water formation and ocean circulation. She has previously worked at several institutions, including the University of Portsmouth, UK, the Institute of Coastal Marine Environment in Naples, Italy, Goethe University of Frankfurt, Germany, University of Oxford, UK, and University of Rennes in France, University of Barcelona in Catalunya.
