Biography
Francien Peterse is assistant professor in the Organic Geochemistry group. Her research interests vary from land-sea soil organic carbon transport dynamics, to the reconstruction of past climate change, as well as to method development and validation. The occurrence, distribution, and isotopic composition of specific molecules derived from plants and/or (micro)organisms, or so-called lipid biomarkers, are the most important tools for this work.
