Sina Delfs

Sina Delfs is a Researcher in the Experimental Ecology - Benthic Ecology unit at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. She works within the Marine Ecology research division under Prof. Dr. Frank Melzner (Head of Experimental Ecology) and is associated with the Ocean Ecosystem Biology unit led by Prof. Dr. Thorsten Reusch.

Her research focuses on Marine Ecology with specialization in Benthic Ecology - studying organisms that live on, in, or near the seabed. Through experimental approaches in controlled environments, she investigates marine ecosystem dynamics and benthic community responses to environmental changes. Her work connects to broader questions about ocean ecosystem functioning and resilience within GEOMAR's research framework.

Based at GEOMAR's facility in Kiel, Germany (Room 1.308, Building 5), her research contributes to understanding marine biodiversity and ecosystem processes in the context of global environmental change. Her position supports GEOMAR's mission within the Helmholtz Association to advance ocean science and address critical marine ecosystem questions.
