Jana Hinners

Dr. Jana Hinners is a researcher affiliated with the University of Hamburg, specializing in marine microorganism interactions, phytoplankton dynamics, and the biological carbon pump. Her work bridges experimental observations with ecosystem modeling to understand environmental adaptation mechanisms.

• Focus on phytoplankton trait characterization and biodiversity in the Baltic Sea
• Key projects: PHYTOARK (historical phytoplankton adaptation), Phytoplankton-virus interactions
• Collaborations with Dr. Anke Kremp (IOW) and Dr. Luisa Listmann (University of Hamburg)

Her research has implications for marine ecosystem functioning under climate change, particularly regarding carbon sequestration processes in coastal systems.
