Stillingsbeskrivelse

In my Ph D. project I study ancient marine Arctic ecosystems using genetic methods.

By extraction of ancient eDNA from sediments (sedaDNA) the aim is to identify eukaryote organisms from the last Ice Age and reconstruct past communities that lived during that time-period. My project will investigate how past ecosystems may have responded to climate warming in the past- and model potential responses of modern Arctic communities to future climate change.
