Dr. Habacuc Pérez-Tribouillier
I am a chemical oceanographer born and trained in Mexico. My years investigating the ocean have led me to the fields of analytical chemistry, isotope geochemistry and mass spectrometry. I am currently doing a joint postdoc between the Laboratory of Ion beam Physics and TITANICA. An important component of my job is the measurement of actinides (e.g. U, Pu and Am) on the Accelerator Mass Spectrometer. My research focuses on applying these isotopes, together with other geochemical tracers (e.g. eNd, Th and Rare Earth Elements) to address environmental topics ranging from ocean circulation and its role in global heat transfer to marine pollution. I am involved in several research projects, including the Arctic Century Expedition focused on studying the Atlantic-waters mixing in the Arctic Ocean, the Fukushima revival project to monitor the effects of the waste waters release from the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear plant and the MetroPOEM consortium to harmonize the different mass-spectrometry methods for the determination of radioactive pollutants.

Dr. Anne-Marie Wefing
I was a TITANICA Postdoc working on the use of anthropogenic radionuclides as transient tracers in the ocean. My main study area is the Arctic Ocean where especially the combination of 129I and 236U proved to be a useful tracer pair to understand pathways of Atlantic-origin waters and to estimate their circulation times as well as mixing regimes.
Education
PhD in Environmental Systems Science (2021), ETH Zürich, Switzerland
Thesis title: 129I and 236U as a new tracer pair to study water mass circulation in the Arctic Ocean and Fram Strait
