Sonja Geilert is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Earth sciences. Her research is centered around the interactions of climate, geological processes, and the silica-carbon cycle. She investigates the small-scale mineral-water reactions involved in silicate weathering and their effects on ocean chemistry and the global carbon cycle. Geilert utilizes stable isotopes as a key tool to study the formation and destruction of silicate minerals on the seafloor, aiming to quantify their impact on oceanic element cycles. She is particularly interested in the role of silicate weathering as a potential method for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to mitigate climate change through enhanced mineral addition to the ocean. Her enthusiasm for applying her expertise to address climate change reflects her commitment to the field.
