Elisabeth Seidel

Elisabeth Seidel is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research (IOW) in Rostock, Germany, specializing in the Department of Marine Geosciences within the Marine Geophysics working group. Her position focuses on geological and geophysical investigations of marine environments, particularly the Baltic Sea region.

Her research centers on Marine Geophysics, employing seismic, magnetic, and gravity methods to analyze seafloor structures, sediment dynamics, and tectonic processes. This work provides critical insights into the geological evolution of marine basins, including sediment transport mechanisms, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and seabed resource assessment. Her expertise bridges geophysical data acquisition with geological interpretation to understand complex ocean-floor systems.

As an integral member of IOW's Marine Geophysics working group, Dr. Seidel collaborates on multidisciplinary projects involving geophysical surveying, seabed mapping, and sediment core analysis. The group's research directly supports environmental monitoring and resource management initiatives in the Baltic Sea ecosystem.
