Jelle Bijma’s research interests focus on process-oriented studies of the incorporation of isotopes and (trace) elements (“proxies”) into biogenic carbonates, biomineralisation, global biogeochemical cycles (specifically the carbon cycle) and processes of modern and past climate change. He published more than 50 publications in internationally peer-reviewed journals.

Jelle served EGU as President of the Biogeosciences division (2005–2009) and as editor of the EGU open access journal “Biogeosciences” (since 2004).
