Caroline P. Slomp is a professor at Radboud University Nijmegen who is known for her work on elemental cycling in marine environments.
Slomp was born in Khairagali, Pakistan[1] and lived there until her family moved back to the Netherlands when she was nine years old.
[4][5] Her subsequent research considered how submarine groundwater discharge bring nutrients to the coastal ocean[6] and the accumulation of phosphorus in marine sapropels.
[7] In coastal sediments she has examined the oxidation of methane[8] and how bacterial cells control the interactions between iron and phosphorus.
[12] In 2018 she was named the Paul Gast lecturer by the Geochemical Society and European Association for Geochemistry,[13] and in 2020 they elected Slomp as fellow.
