A key interest of my work lies in understanding how changes in organic matter composition, microbial and planktonic community structure and environmental conditions shape trace metal patterns, and conversely how shifts in metal cycling&nbsp;feed back&nbsp;on aquatic biota. My research combines field observations with controlled micro- and mesocosm experiments and advanced trace metal and dissolved organic matter analytics to unravel metal-organic matter coupling in both living and non-living organic matter pools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond fundamental research, I care strongly about transparent and inclusive science and enjoy communicating&nbsp;our research&nbsp;to students and to audiences beyond academia, with a focus on stakeholder engagement and public outreach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Current&nbsp;Projects<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SO313 \u2013 Louisville Ridge:\u00a0The development and composition of ferromanganese crusts and biological communities in association with hydrographic features on the Louisville Ridge (SW Pacific)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Biogeochemical cycling of selected potentially harmful (ultra-)trace metals (Tl, REE) in coastal environments\u00a0[<a href=\"https:\/\/gepris.dfg.de\/gepris\/projekt\/506141804?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DFG\u00a0grant:\u00a0506141804<\/a>]\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Key&nbsp;aspects:<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The fate of naturally and anthropogenically derived Tl and REE in coastal ocean compartments\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The impact of\u00a0organic matter\u00a0cycling, with respect to the living and non-living fraction of the\u00a0organic matter\u00a0pool, on the Tl and REE concentration patterns and vice versa.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Education &amp; Academic career<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Since&nbsp;2026&nbsp;<\/td><td>PostDoc&nbsp;\/&nbsp;Projectmanager, Marine Geochemistry&nbsp;(AG&nbsp;Prof. Koschinksy)&nbsp;Constructor University Bremen&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2021 &#8211; 2025&nbsp;<\/td><td>PostDoc, Marine Isotope Geochemistry&nbsp;(AG&nbsp;Prof.&nbsp;Pahnke),&nbsp;ICBM, Carl von Ossietzky&nbsp;University Oldenburg&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2017 &#8211; 2020&nbsp;<\/td><td>PhD student&nbsp;(Dr.&nbsp;rer. nat.),&nbsp;Marine Environmental Science,&nbsp;in the collaborative project\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/uol.de\/icbm\/verbundprojekte\/ecomol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018The Ecology of Molecules (EcoMol)\u2019<\/a>,&nbsp;Microbiogeochemistry&nbsp;(AG&nbsp;Prof.&nbsp;Brumsack),&nbsp;ICBM, Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thesis: \u2018The fate of selected trace metals (Mn, Fe, Mo, Tl) in coastal ocean compartments\u2019.&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2014 &#8211; 2017&nbsp;<\/td><td>Marine Environmental Sciences (M.Sc.),&nbsp;Carl von Ossietzky&nbsp;University Oldenburg, including research stay\/semester at the&nbsp;National&nbsp;Marine Science Centre in Coffs&nbsp;Harbour, AUS (AG Isaac&nbsp;Santos)&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2011 &#8211; 2014&nbsp;<\/td><td>Geoscience (B.Sc.),&nbsp;Eberhard-Karls-University T\u00fcbingen&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Publications<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mori, C.<\/strong>, Dellwig, O., Wollschl\u00e4ger, J., Seidel, M., (2025).&nbsp;Process zone specific alteration of rare earth element (REE) patterns across the land\u2013ocean transition of the southern North Sea.&nbsp;Geochimica&nbsp;et&nbsp;Cosmochimica&nbsp;Acta 402, 32-48.&nbsp;doi:&nbsp;10.1016\/j.gca.2025.06.017.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dlugosch, L., Bunse, C., Bunk, B., B\u00f6ttcher, L., Tran, D.Q., Dittmar, T., Hartmann, M., Heinrichs, M., Hintz, N.H., Milke, F.,&nbsp;<strong>Mori, C.<\/strong>, Niggemann, J.,&nbsp;Spr\u00f6er, C., Striebel, M. and Simon, M.
