Rector @SariLindblom has approved my promotion to Professor of #EnvironmentalGeochemistry at @KumpulaScience from September 2024. Having been on a Tenure Track for more than 8 years it feels like a big moment. A brief🧵 about the process from my viewpoint 👇 @GeoHelsinkiUni

This paper is really the culmination of my @SuomenAkatemia Fellowship 2018-2023 and of many years of work by @CarolineSlomp and others to generate #tracemetal data for key human-impacted coastal marine sediment sites in Europe. @GeoHelsinkiUni 1/3

@mareike_paul shows how enrichments of 18 elements including carbon, sulfur and a range of metals and metalloids correlate in sediments across 9 study sites. We can see which elements track direct pollution inputs, and which record other effects such as #deoxygenation. 2/3

The work moves the field forward in terms of understanding how sediment metal contents can be used as archives of human impacts on the marine environment. All data can be found at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12759…. Mareike defends her PhD at @helsinkiuni on 27 September 👏3/3

There are many to acknowledge, I won't make a list here but since starting as an undergrad in Edinburgh many moons ago I had the pleasure to share this 🌎 with a lot of very cool, smart and kind people, not least in Utrecht and Helsinki. A thousand thanks 🫶.

For those who speak Finnish, here is the full statement from the Faculty committee to the rector stating the basis for their recommendation, shared for transparency. Good luck to anyone coming through this process in future, I'm rooting for you 👊
