Jonas Schneider, BSc ETH Earth and Climate Sciences

I’m a Postgraduate Associate in Dr. Noah Planavsky’s group, where I assist with research projects focusing on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through enhanced mineral weathering—specifically how this process can be quantified and scaled.

During my undergraduate studies at ETH Zurich, I developed a strong interest in isotope geochemistry. As a Paleoclimatology Intern at the University of Bergen, I worked with Dr. Nele Meckler, processing foraminifera samples for carbonate clumped isotope thermometry. For my undergraduate thesis, I conducted a collaborative research project under the supervision of Dr. Michael Ellwood (Australian National University) and Dr. Derek Vance (ETH Zurich), investigating the ecological role of nickel in the ocean to better understand its isotopic budget.

Through an internship at a carbon dioxide mineralization startup, I have become passionate about the CDR ecosystem, and I’m thrilled to be able to combine that passion with my geochemistry background in my role here at Yale.
