Dr Chiara Krewer

Profile

I am Research Fellow with my time split between two projects. I work together with Will Homoky as part of the SeaSTORE project with focus on marine sediment biogeochemistry and the impact of seabed trawling on the benthic carbon reservoir.

Additionally, together with Ben Mills, I work on extinction events in deep time where I assess how environmental factors contributed to extinction risks for animals over the last 500 million years using SCION, a climate-biogeochemical model.
