Frederike Schmidt

M.Sc. Frederike Schmidt is a Researcher in the Ecological Chemistry department at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. Her work focuses on understanding chemical interactions in marine ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on biological carbon pump dynamics, species interactions, and chemical ecology. She is affiliated with the Biosciences division and contributes to research on biogeochemical processes in marine environments.

Frederike’s research interests include the study of marine biogeochemical cycles, particularly how chemical signals influence ecological interactions and carbon sequestration. Her team investigates topics such as species interactions in marine systems and the role of chemical ecology in shaping marine communities. She is based at AWI’s Bremerhaven campus, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in marine sciences.
