Malte Juerchott

Malte Juerchott is a researcher at GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, affiliated with the Department of Marine Biogeochemistry since 2024. His work focuses on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, particularly artificial upwelling and its impact on ocean carbon cycles. He is involved in the CDRmare: Test ArtUp project, aiming to assess marine climate intervention techniques using Earth system models.

Education:

• B.Sc. in Geosciences (2014–2018, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel)
• M.Sc. in Geosciences (2018–2021, CAU Kiel)
• Doctorate (2021–2024, CAU Kiel / GEOMAR)

Research Interests revolve around marine biogeochemical processes, climate change mitigation via ocean-based geoengineering, and modeling the long-term effects of artificial upwelling. His work bridges computational simulations with real-world feasibility for carbon sequestration in Germany's marine environment.

Publications highlight his expertise in assessing CDR technologies like Stommel-Pipe systems and combined iron fertilization methods. Key trends include quantifying CO2 uptake efficiency, evaluating environmental trade-offs, and refining marine geoengineering narratives through interdisciplinary models.

Labs & Teams: Collaborates with the Biogeochemical Modeling group and contributes to the CDRmare consortium, focusing on scalable marine carbon removal solutions.
