I study soluble and particle-associated organic matter by ultrahigh res mass spectrometry; the main focus lies on soil which provides key services to society (ground, food and water security, C storage, nutrient supply, ...). My goal is to link compositional trends with soil properties and processes that mediate these services. I use novel approaches to understand the signals we see better, and apply multivariate statistics and databases to decipher patterns and trends in my data.
