Eleni Anagnostou
Eleni Anagnostou is a biogeochemist and paleoceanographer at GEOMAR, where she leads a research group for projects focusing on carbon-climate dynamics in the Cenozoic. Her background is in Chemical Engineering (NTUA, Greece), continued by an MSc in Environmental Science (Rutgers, USA) and a PhD in Chemical Oceanography (DMCS, Rutgers, USA). She worked as a post doc at University of Southampton (UK) and Northeastern University/Claremont McKenna College (USA), followed by a year at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). Her group targets marine archives, such as foraminifera, corals and coralline algae, and we use trace elements and isotopes (e.g. boron) to reconstruct past climate variability from annual to million year time scales. Their main goal is to answer questions on the mechanisms driving the interaction between carbon, climate and sea level change during Earth’s history.
