Wei-Li Hong

Wei-Li Hong is an Assistant Professor of Geochemistry at the Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University. He leads interdisciplinary research on marine geochemical processes and their climate linkages through projects funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant and Ragnar Söderbergs Stiftelse.

• Department: Geological Sciences
• University: Stockholm University
• Academic Rank: Assistant Professor

Research Focus: His work addresses three major themes:

• Silicate alteration dynamics in marine environments and their atmospheric CO₂ regulation
• Cryosphere-driven submarine groundwater discharge in high-latitude regions
• Methane cycling in Arctic cold seeps and hydrate systems

Publication Trends: Recent studies span:

• Baltic Sea ferromanganese concretion analysis
• Permafrost-hydrogeology linkages
• Methane-derived authigenic carbonate quantification
• Barium isotope equilibrium fractionation
• Submarine mud volcano biogeochemistry

Awards & Grants:

• Ragnar Söderbergs Stiftelse Starting Grant (2022-2023)
• ERC Consolidator Grant (2023-2028)
• Swedish Research Council (VR) Grant (2022-2025)
• EU-Water4all Grant (2024-2027, co-PI)

Teaching: He serves as primary instructor for Marine Geochemistry (GG7033) and co-teaches courses on sedimentary systems, ocean-climate interactions, and global geochemical cycles.
