Jutta Wollenburg

Jutta Wollenburg is a researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), specializing in marine biogeosciences. Her work focuses on polar foraminifera, high-pressure culturing, cryogenic gypsum, Arctic stratigraphy, and proxy development. She contributes to understanding Arctic Ocean dynamics through sediment core analysis, biogeochemical processes, and paleoclimatological studies. Her research spans experimental methods, biodiversity assessments, and environmental change impacts, with a strong emphasis on developing proxies for reconstructing past climate conditions.

Key projects include investigations into cryogenic gypsum's role in carbon export, foraminifera-sponge symbiosis, and high-pressure culturing experiments. She has published extensively on Arctic Ocean sedimentology, glacial history, and the interplay between marine ecosystems and climate. Her work bridges experimental biology, geochemistry, and paleoceanography to address critical questions about Arctic environmental processes.

Collaborations involve international expeditions and datasets, including contributions to the MOSAiC and Yermak Plateau studies. She maintains active involvement in Arctic research networks and data repositories like PANGAEA, ensuring accessibility of her findings for broader scientific use.
