Dr Stathys. Papadimitriou

Research Lecturer,
School of Ocean Sciences

Cycling of carbon and nitrogen in the aquatic environment using stable isotopes to elucidate biotic and abiotic processes in diverse aquatic systems that range from the sediments of the deep ocean to the cryogenic brines in sea ice in the Polar Regions.
