Paula Dalcin Martins

Dr. Paula Dalcin Martins is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam, specifically associated with the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED). Her work focuses on microbial ecology and biogeochemical processes in marine and coastal environments.

• Research Themes:
  • Methane cycling in eutrophic coastal sediments
  • Nitrogen and sulfur metabolism in marine biofilms
  • Microbial community responses to environmental stressors
  • Biogeochemical modeling of methane oxidation
  • Anammox bacteria in subsea environments

Her recent publications (2021–2025) highlight expertise in metagenomics, microbial community analysis, and biogeochemical cycling. She has contributed to studies on plastic-associated microbiomes, tunnel concrete deterioration, and nutrient dynamics in marine basins.
