Maya Dodhia

Maya Dodhia is a Guest Researcher in the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science, focusing on marine plastic pollution in 'plastic hotspot zones' and its biogeochemical impacts on carbon cycling.

Her core research interests include:

• Biogeochemistry
• Marine Microbiology
• Climate Change

Dodhia's recent publications (2023-2025) analyze microbe-mineral interactions on plastics, automated mineralogy techniques, microplastic sedimentation in estuaries, and climate mitigation in food systems. Her work bridges environmental science, marine microbiology, and climate policy to address plastic pollution's ecological consequences.
