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.

Where Freshwater Meets the Fjord: Researching Carbon in a Changing Arctic

Where Freshwater Meets the Fjord: Researching Carbon in a Changing Arctic

We sat down with Henry Henson, a PhD student at Aarhus University, whose path led from an early love of nature to studying the frontlines of climate change in the Arctic. Henry works with both Aarhus University’s Arctic Research Centre and the Greenland Climate Research Centre in Nuuk, exploring how Greenland’s coastal oceans absorb CO2 and how a warming, freshening Arctic is transforming these fr ...[Read More]
