Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Schobben is a geoscientist and postdoctoral researcher based in Vienna with nine years of research experience spanning geochemistry, biogeology, and data-driven paleoclimate reconstruction. He holds a PhD from Freie Universität Berlin and has led projects that couple microbial processes to long-term carbon and nutrient cycles, with implications for carbon capture and Earth system prediction. Martin blends hands-on analytical expertise—particularly micro-analytical SIMS work and phase-specific extractions for P and Fe—with modern computational approaches, having built tidymodels-based ML pipelines and user-friendly Shiny interfaces to reconstruct past marine temperature and salinity from biological proxies. His work bridges detailed lab methods and reproducible data workflows, optimizing micro-scale analyses to inform macroscale Earth-history questions. Colleagues describe him as creative and application-focused: he translates complex geochemical signals into actionable models for deep-time environmental change.
