She obtained her PhD in physical oceanography in 2015 from the University of East Anglia, UK, under supervision of Karen Heywood and David Stevens, in collaboration with the UK Met Office. She is already a leading researcher in one of the least studied components of the climate system: the deep ocean.

Ehrenfreund is among the founders of the field of astrobiology. Trained in biology and genetics, she completed her PhD in astrophysics at the University Paris VII and University of Vienna in 1990. Teh following year she obtained a habilitation in astrochemistry, with a collection of works entitled “cosmic dust”.

He further studied the possible sources and sinks for methane and helped with the in-situ detection of methane by the Curiosity rover team. In addition, he provided the first high-precision measurement of primordial argon isotope ratios on Mars and discussed their implication for the early history of the planet.

In collaboration with " the Bern team " he was the first to measure the glacial-interglacial change of atmospheric CO2. They showed in 1979 that the atmospheric concentration of CO2 during the glacial was almost 50% lower than today.

Then, in 1997, I was invited to become a founder-director of the new Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena. I am a long-standing member of the IGBPs Global Analysis, Integration and Modelling task force (GAIM); I have also been deeply involved in the work of the IPCC.
Home / News / Press releases / The first complete picture of Arctic sea ice freeze-thaw cycle highlights sea ice response to climate change
5 December 2022 MUNICH – Years of research show that climate change signals are amplified in the Arctic, and that sea ice in this region is sensitive to increases in Arctic warming. Sea ice greatly modifies the exchanges of heat, momentum and mass between the atmosphere and the ocean.
