Friederike Fröb is a researcher at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen, focusing on local and global carbon cycle processes and biogeochemical systems on different timescales, working with both, marine observational data, and global Earth System Model data. She received her PhD degree from the University of Bergen, where she investigated anthropogenic carbon uptake and storage processes driven by convection in the subpolar North Atlantic. At the biogeochemistry group of the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg, Germany, Friederike Fröb worked on modelled artificial ocean alkalinisation as a potential ocean-based negative emission strategy and their detectability in ESM simulations. Her ongoing research strongly focuses on identifying abrupt shifts and nonlinear processes in ocean biogeochemistry and analysing the impact of climate change hazards on marine ecosystems.
In TipESM, Friederike Fröb is contributing with NorESM2 simulations. She is particularly interested in understanding how tipping points affect marine carbon uptake and storage, including downstream effects on marine primary productivity and marine life.
