Sebastian Naeher

I am currently Adjunct Scientist and Organic Geochemist at Victoria University of Wellington. I also work parly as geochemistry consultant/contractor for research and commercial projects. Until recently, I have been Organic Geochemist/Biogeochemist at GNS Science and Lead Scientist of our GNS/VUW Organic Geochemistry Laboratory. My research is focused on biomarkers (organic compounds, often called molecular fossils), and their compound-specific stable isotope composition to reconstruct environmental and climate changes from sediments (lakes, coastal and marine environments), soils, sedimentary rocks and petroleum. I am also Adjunct Teaching Fellow and Honorary Research Associate at Victoria University of Wellington and serve as Associate Editor of Biogeosciences, NZ Journal of Geology and Geophysics and NZ Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research. In the past, I have also been member of the National Executive Committee of GSNZ and the Convener of Geochemistry Special Interest Group.
