Maurie Keppens

ABOUT

Maurie’s PhD research is part of the VLAIO BERNARDO project. This initiative aims to bridge the global knowledge gap surrounding the coastal carbon cycle, with a test case focused on the Belgian part of the North Sea, utilizing in-situ measurements, novel machine learning techniques, and remote sensing data. Maurie’s primary focus within this project will be on the dissolved inorganic carbon component. Additionally, Maurie will explore the influence of extreme events on coastal carbon dynamics, linking this aspect to the European AI4PEX project. This PhD research is co-supervised by Dr. Peter Landschutzer (VLIZ) within the PPFC group.
