Corine is a PhD student at the Department of arctic and marine biology at UiT the Arctic university of Norway. She has worked in various plant biology fields since 2015, from the effects of invasive herbivores in tropical ponds, working in a commercial greenhouse, to the molecular circadian rhythms in sub-Arctic strawberries. Her focus in her PhD prosject is on sub-Arctic root-soil interactions and what functional traits may provide better carbon capture solutions for bioremediation and bio-design efforts.
