We are proud to announce the successful disputation of our SICSS member Suliskania Nurfitri

Her dissertation “Physical mechanisms of nutrient supply and controlling factors of phytoplankton growth in the Arafura Sea” was supervised by PD Dr. Thomas Pohlmann and Dr. Johannes Pätsch.

Suliskania investigated the mechanism of nutrient supply and its implication on phytoplankton distribution in the Arafura Sea. She utilized a three-dimensional (3D) biogeochemical model ECOHAM (ECOsystem model HAMburg). Her simulation revealed that the nutrient supply is mainly regulated by vertical advection, which is stronger during the southeast monsoon (June-August). The nutrient budget analysis confirmed these results. Her study also showed that phytoplankton growth is primarily regulated by nitrogen and light limitations.

Suliskania was a member of the Institute of Oceanography at the Universität Hamburg.

Suliskania’s future plans?

She already got a position as a lecturer at Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia.
