Felix Weber

Dr. Felix Weber is a researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in the department of Shelf Sea System Ecology, part of the Biosciences school. His work focuses on microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, and plankton dynamics in marine and freshwater systems. He is based at the AWI's marine station on Helgoland, Germany, and leads studies on carbon cycling, microbial interactions, and the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems. His research employs cutting-edge techniques like stable isotope probing and Raman microspectroscopy to trace carbon flow and microbial activity in complex environmental systems.

• Affiliations: AWI Helgoland, Marine Biogeosciences division
• Key Projects: Baltic Sea protist diversity, Fayetteville Green Lake studies, marine heatwave impacts

Research interests span plankton communities, oxygen-deficient systems, and microbial trophic interactions. He has published extensively on topics like protist culturing, carbon dynamics in anoxic lakes, and the effects of global change drivers on marine ecosystems.

His team develops novel methods for tracking microbial processes in situ, including advanced microscopy and isotope tracing. Collaborations include international studies on coastal dynamics and redox stratification in freshwater and marine environments.
