Research questions

The research questions of Birgit Schneider are addressing the links between climate, ocean circulation and marine biogeochemical cycles on timescales from the geologic past into the future. In particular the following questions are posed:

  • What can we learn from the geologic past for future climate projections?
  • How do interactions between climate, ocean circulation and biogeochemical cycles in the ocean operate?
  • How can we develop innovative methods to compare models and data, especially for the past when no direct measurements exist?
