Katrin Sturm

Dr. Katrin Sturm is an academic researcher affiliated with the School of Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland. Her work focuses on environmental engineering and aquatic biogeochemistry, particularly methane and nitrous oxide emissions in subtropical water systems. She has published extensively on estuarine, freshwater reservoir, and riverine GHG dynamics.

• Education: PhD in Environmental Engineering from The University of Queensland (2015)

Sturm's research investigates greenhouse gas emissions from aquatic systems, including:

• Temporal and spatial variability of methane/nitrous oxide
• Tidal influences on estuarine emissions
• Methodological approaches for gas measurement
• Biogeochemical processes in reservoirs

Her publications (2013-2022) reveal a consistent focus on subtropical aquatic systems and their role in climate change, spanning field measurements, method development, and modelling. Collaborative work with researchers like Ursula Werner and Zhiguo Yuan dominates her output.
