I am a biogeochemist studying blue carbon ecosystems. My research focuses on the coastal carbon cycle, including lateral exports, carbon stocks, and greenhouse gas emissions.https://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3mtxvmcqnes2aMeet us at **Frihamnsdagarna, 27–29 August**, at the Sea and Society tent and Blue Community Garden in Frihamnen! 🌊 https://www.gu.se/evenemang/besok-den-marina-kolonilotten-flytevi-pa-frihamnsdagarna-126 Aug 2026 08:20 +0000at://did:plc:z6tb7rgigvm2bxgyncdplmvc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtxvmcqnes2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3mshrnai4m22yNew paper out: "Spatially resolved groundwater and river nutrient inputs to Baltic Sea coastal waters via radium isotopes" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marchem.2026.10467407 Aug 2026 05:01 +0000at://did:plc:z6tb7rgigvm2bxgyncdplmvc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mshrnai4m22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3mp6l7tak4c2hProud supervisor moment! 🎉 My first PhD student presented his introductory seminar today on "Carbon Chemistry in Nordic Coastal Ecosystems: Implications for Climate Change Mitigation."26 Jun 2026 08:57 +0000at://did:plc:z6tb7rgigvm2bxgyncdplmvc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp6l7tak4c2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3mp6gs5zdnk22Just published: Carbonate Chemistry in Groundwater and Rivers Draining to the Baltic Sea: Implications for Coastal Ocean Acidification https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-026-01761-y26 Jun 2026 07:38 +0000at://did:plc:z6tb7rgigvm2bxgyncdplmvc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp6gs5zdnk22https://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3ml3zdiy3cs2zOur study shows wetland carbon export can reduce coastal CO2 uptake, published in Science Bulletin https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scib.2026.04.05205 May 2026 10:51 +0000at://did:plc:z6tb7rgigvm2bxgyncdplmvc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3zdiy3cs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/gloriareithmaier.bsky.social/post/3mibnlvmr322eWe train students as researchers from day one.
