Two young scientists are awarded the Annette Barthelt Prize for their outstanding doctoral theses at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. This year's winners are Dr Jenna Balaguer for her work on the role of micronutrients for phytoplankton growth in the Antarctic and Dr Jonas Preine for his work on the evolution of the marine volcanic field in the southern Aegean. With this award, the Annette Barthelt Foundation commemorates for the 37th time four scientists from Kiel who were killed in a terrorist attack in Djibouti, Africa, on 18 March 1987. The award comes with a research grant of 6000 euros, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Dr Jenna Balaguer was funded by the German Research Foundation as a doctoral student under the Priority Programme 1158 – Antarctic Research (TR-899-4).
