Dr Ilka Peeken is a researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Germany, where she investigates the biology, biogeochemistry and pollution of sea ice. She studied Marine Biology at the University of Kiel, and for her PhD project at the former Institute for Marine Sciences (IfM), she developed methods for directly recording difficult-to-measure ecosystem processes in the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans using marker pigments. After her PhD she worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, USA, focusing on the measurement of stable isotopes in pigments from marine sediments. In 2000, she returned to the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences in Kiel studying the effect of the micronutrient iron on algae in the Southern Ocean and focused on the role marine algae for the production of climate-relevant trace gases in tropical regions. From 2008 she worked in a collaborative project between the University of Bremen and the AWI, and started investigations about the effect of climate change on polar sea-ice biota and related ecosystems, particularly in the Arctic. In 2013, she began working at the AWI, where her primary focus is currently on the connections between sea ice and the various algae living within and beneath it with special emphasis on biodiversity changes. Her aim is to estimate the extent to which climate change is altering the sea-ice habitat and what these changes mean for the cryo- pelagic and cryo-benthic coupling. At the same time, she is investigating sea-ice contamination due to microplastic particles and the consequences of this pollution for sea-ice organisms.
