Constructor Talks: Inside the Amazon estuary with Prof. Dr. Andrea Koschinsky

In this episode of Constructor Talks, we speak with Prof. Dr. Andrea Koschinsky, Professor of Geosciences at Constructor University and one of the leading voices in geochemistry. Andrea explains what geochemistry is, how her passion for the environment shaped her career, and why global climate conferences often face challenges. She also shares insights from her research in the Amazon estuary, one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth and a critical connection point between rainforest and ocean. We also look behind the scenes of GEOTRACES, the international program mapping the chemistry of the world’s oceans, and hear about life and research aboard the German research vessel Meteor. If you’re interested in Earth systems, climate science, biodiversity, or ocean exploration, this episode offers a fascinating look at how geochemistry helps us better understand our planet.
