报告人简介
Prof. Jonsson is a chemist and her research focuses on understanding the biogeochemical cycle of Mercury (Hg) and other toxic trace metals in aquatic environments. She received her PhD at Umea University, Sweden, with the thesis entitled "Unraveling the importance of solid and adsorbed phase mercury speciation for methylmercury formation, evasion and bioaccumulation" in 2013. From 2014 to 2017, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Robert Mason’s lab at the University of Connecticut in the US where she redirected her focus from estuaries to the marine environment. Since 2018, she have been an assistant professor at the department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry at Stockholm University, Sweden. Her group is currently involved in projects focusing on e.g. i) marine cycling of Hg, with a particular interest for the role of dimethylmercury, ii) reactivity of toxic metals during transport from land to sea, and iii) mercury cycling in polar region with special interest for arctic coastal systems and thawing permafrost soils. In common, these project aims to better understand the link between sources of toxic metals to their environmental risk, as well as to understand how these cycles can be perturbed in the future by e.g. altered land use or a warmer climate.
