Martijn Hermans

Martijn Hermans is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Baltic Sea Centre, Stockholm University, focusing on biogeochemical processes in coastal and marine sediments. His work explores microbial ecosystems like cable bacteria, nutrient cycling in eutrophic systems, and methane dynamics in oxygen-deficient waters.

• Fields of Interest: Marine Ecology, Biogeochemistry, Environmental Science, Sedimentology, Climate Change Impact, Aquatic Microbiology

His research spans continental margins, the Baltic Sea, and Black Sea environments, addressing topics like phosphorus mobilization, methane emissions, and metal feedback loops. Recent publications highlight stratification effects on nutrient cycling, sulfide toxicity in methane oxidation, and natural re-oxygenation impacts on sediment chemistry.

Key trends in his 15 most recent articles (2019-2025) include microbial-driven electron transfer in marine sediments, eutrophication feedbacks in coastal systems, and climate-related methane fluxes in stratified waters.
