Anke Bleyer

Anke Bleyer is a Researcher in the Department of Marine Biogeochemistry at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, specializing in the Marine Geosystems research group (FE: Marine Geosystems). Her work focuses on the interplay between geological structures and biogeochemical processes in marine environments, contributing to GEOMAR's mission of understanding Earth's ocean systems.

Her research interests include:

• Marine Biogeochemistry
• Marine Geosystems
• Ocean Chemistry
• Carbon Cycle
• Climate Change

She actively participates in GEOMAR's integrative research foci, particularly marine carbon sinks and the Digital Twin Ocean initiative, which examines how ocean systems regulate atmospheric CO₂ and influence global climate patterns. Her work leverages GEOMAR's extensive research infrastructure including the Boknis Eck Time Series Station in the Baltic Sea and the Ocean Science Centre Mindelo in Cabo Verde.

Dr. Bleyer operates within GEOMAR's research program 'Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future', collaborating across disciplines to address climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. Her research directly supports climate protection strategies such as carbon uptake mechanisms in the ocean relevant to the 1.5-degree target.
