Invited Speakers
Dr. Vanessa Hatje
UFBA, Federal University of Bahia
Vanessa Hatje’s research focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals and carbon and how both natural and anthropogenic processes influence these elements. Her research group develops new analytical techniques to detect trace metals, including rare earth elements and organic contaminants in marine matrices.

Dr. Martine Leermakers
VUB, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Her research interests include the development of analytical techniques for trace metals, organometals, metalloids and radionuclides as well as the study of the geochemical cycling of these elements in environmental compartments. In the last years she has been working on the development of passive sampling techniques for in situ trace metal speciation DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films) and DET (diffusive equilibrium in thin films), applying these techniques in both pristine (open ocean) as well as heavily contaminated sites such as mining sites.
Dr. Chiara Santinelli
CNR, Institute of Biophysics, Operating Unit of Pisa
Research interests focus on dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in both coastal areas and open sea waters, with particular regards to the role of DOM in the global carbon cycle and in carbon export and sequestration in deep waters.
