معرفی
Dr. Elena Hauten is a Research Fellow at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences, affiliated with the Department of Biology and the Institute of Marine Ecosystem and Fisheries Sciences. Her research focuses on marine ecosystem dynamics, particularly in estuarine environments.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biology (2020-2024), University of Hamburg: 'Stable isotope ecology of fishes in the Elbe estuary' (Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Christian Möllmann, Prof. Dr. Peter Grønkjær)
- M.Sc. in Biology (2014-2017), University of Hamburg: Thesis on twaite shad spawning stocks in the Elbe River
- B.Sc. in Biology (2011-2014), University of Hamburg: Taxonomic study of angelfish collections
Research Focus: Dr. Hauten investigates marine ecosystems through stable isotope analysis and non-invasive monitoring methods. Her work examines fish migration patterns, food web structures, and ecological interactions in the Elbe estuary and North Sea, with emphasis on environmental impacts on fish populations.
Publication Trends: Recent articles (2024) demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining microbial ecology, omics technologies, and ecosystem modeling to study estuarine organisms, reflecting consistent focus on anthropogenic impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
Current Projects:
- NikoFin (2024-present): Non-commercial fish species in the North Sea
- RTG2530 (2020-2024): Biota-mediated carbon cycling in estuaries
