APECS Biological Oceanography Coordinator 

I’m a German zooplankton ecologist and started my studies in this field in 1995 at the Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. Excited about the complex behaviour of little planktonic creatures called copepods, I continued to study their ecology and conducted a comparative study in the Mediterranean and the North Sea, resulting in a bi-national PhD degree, conferred in 2001 by the Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI (France) and the University of Oldenburg (Germany). I have studied the ecology of copepods ever since in a number of postdoctoral projects based at the University of Hamburg (Germany), the University of Washington, Seattle (USA), and the University Centre on Svalbard (Norway). I have lived and worked on Spitsbergen in the high Arctic for two years studying population ecology of arctic plankton. I joined APECS as biology discipline coordinator in early 2007. I am now based at Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the UK, from where I will continue my research in the Arctic.

Join our group of polar researchers from diverse disciplines and nationalities to address key issues facing early career scientists. This informal and informative event will include invited keynote speakers, panel sessions and discussion groups with senior researchers and is being held the day before the SCAR/IASC open science meeting. The open science conference is being held 8th – 11th July and participation is strongly encouraged (www.scar-iasc-ipy2008.org).

Here is a poster you can use to advertise this around your departments.
