  Jacqueline Behncke
  Jacqueline Behncke is an ocean biogeochemist based at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany. She investigates the ocean carbon sink by integrating observations, machine learning, and numerical model simulations to improve understanding and monitoring of marine carbon cycling.
• 
  Jenna Balaguer
  Jenna is currently a postdoctoral researcher at GEOMAR in Kiel, Germany. Her overall research interest is to better understand what regulates phytoplankton abundance, ecology, physiology and overall marine primary productivity in the ocean. To do so, she uses a combination of fieldwork, phytoplankton culturing experiments and remote sensing. She is also a member of the Postdoc Representative team at GEOMAR and was involved in a few climate policy side projects.

  Maurie Keppens
  Maurie Keppens is a PhD candidate at Ghent University and the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), Belgium. Her research explores how the ocean carbon cycle responds to climate extremes, including marine heatwaves. By combining field measurements, satellite observations, and machine learning, she develops high-resolution reconstructions of carbon dynamics to better understand how extreme events shape air–sea CO₂ exchange.
• 
  Sankar Prasad Lahiri
  Sankar Prasad Lahiri is a climate scientist whose research focuses on ocean–atmosphere interactions, monsoon dynamics, large-scale climate teleconnections, and climate model biases. His work combines observations, reanalysis, and numerical models to understand the physical processes governing climate variability and improve climate predictions.
