Ying Ye

Dr. Ying Ye is a research scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, where she leads investigations in the Section Marine Biogeosciences. Her work focuses on marine biogeochemical processes with particular emphasis on polar ocean systems.

Her research interests span:

• Marine Biogeosciences
• Oceanography
• Climate Science
• Biogeochemistry
• Iron Cycling in Oceans
• Polar Marine Research

Dr. Ye serves as principal investigator for German Research Foundation (DFG) projects examining critical oceanic processes, particularly investigating how iron sources affect biological productivity in marine environments under changing climate conditions.

Her current research examines:

• Responses of the Southern Ocean biological carbon pump to climate-induced changes in iron sources
• Role of different iron sources for biological productivity using global iron isotope modeling
