Jacob Geersen

Jacob Geersen is a marine geologist working for the  Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW). He investigates geologic processes and their interplay with climate and anthropogenic influences.

Research areas cover open oceans, marginal seas, continental margins and coastal waters, with a special focus on the Baltic Sea. To derive information from the seafloor, Jacob uses hydroacoustic data in conjunction with visual observations and sedimentary archives. Within SUBNORDICA, Jacob is mainly contributing to WP4, looking at submerged landscapes and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions in the southwestern Baltic Sea.
