Fanny Sieler is currently finishing her Master’s programme in Biology at the University of Hamburg. Previously, she analysed deep-sea meiofaunal communities from a long-term-observatory at the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI) Bremerhaven and further broadened these skills at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). Recently, Fanny has been researching Aegisthid Copepods from samples taken during the IceAGE cruises, implementing confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to visualise morphological differences between the species and contrasting it with molecular work for species delimitation. On her first cruise, Fanny is excited to work together with Sabine Gollner and Alessandro Messora, to apply as well as gain further knowledge about the fascinating deep-sea ecosystem at hydrothermal vents.
