Professor Ulf Karsten
In 1988-1990, as a PhD student at the University of Bremen and in close cooperation with the Alfred Wegener Institute, I conducted research on the ecophysiology of Antarctic green algae under the aspects of temperature and salt tolerance as well as sulphur metabolism. As a postdoc and after my appointment to the University of Rostock, I initially focused on the Arctic, and between 1997 and 2007 I participated in 7 marine biological expeditions to Spitsbergen and also led some of them. Since 2014 I have also been investigating polar soil crusts as part of an SPP project, and this summer I led a terrestrial expedition to Spitsbergen.
