Bo Liu

Dr. Bo Liu is a Researcher in the Marine Geochemistry department at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). His work focuses on biogeochemical processes, stable isotope geochemistry, and numerical modeling of marine sediment systems. Key research areas include iron cycling in methanic sediments, carbon burial dynamics in North Sea muds, and diagenetic processes in deep-sea environments. He has contributed to studies on the Nankai Trough, Peru Margin, and Helgoland Mud Area, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches combining field data with reactive-transport modeling.

His research integrates diverse methodologies such as stable isotope analysis, porewater geochemistry, and multi-scale numerical simulations. Recent projects address carbon sequestration mechanisms, microbial-driven transformations in sediments, and the impact of environmental changes on coastal and deep-sea ecosystems. Over 50 publications since 2000 highlight his contributions to marine geochemistry, sediment diagenesis, and biogeochemical cycling.
