Senior scientist as a Chemical Oceanographer at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany
Toste is a chemical oceanographer working focusing on ocean ventilation by observing transient tracers and conducting deliberate tracer release experiments to understand ventilation and mixing in the ocean. Toste also work on understanding the dynamics of ocean carbon, nutrients and oxygen, and is co-chairing the steering committee of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and coordinating the EU funded project EuroSea, that aims at improving the ocean observing and forecasting system.
