Abstract:
"Electrochemical microsensors are very fine, minimally invasive, needle-shaped and often custom-made instruments that allow for real-time measurements of a large range of analytes in high spatial (µm) and temporal (ms) resolution. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of different microsensor types, measuring principles and their construction. In the second part we will look at a range of their application both in the laboratory and under water, with more detailed insights into i) temporal measurements of the parameters that govern coral skeleton formation in stony tropical corals and ii) the spatial distribution of oxygen in deep sea sediments that have been targeted for polymetallic nodule mining."
