I'm Mack Baysinger, a postdoc at Aarhus University. My current research projects focus on greenhouse gas emissions from arctic wetland soils.
Wetlands are an important part of a region's hydrology, and they also contain a massive amount of the worlds' soil carbon. My research contributes towards our understanding of how resilient this carbon pool is in a warming world. For more, visit the Publication page.
It's important to me that my research makes it out of the lab. Science communication and science writing is a passion of mine, and I work to increase the accessibility of what we are discovering about our wetlands, and the fascinating processes that power them. Currently, I am one of the two Chief Editors guiding the EGU Cryospheric Sciences blog and regularly author freelance science news articles. For more, visit the Science Communication page.
Below are a few snapshots from my time as a PhD student at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Potsdam, DE. I defended my thesis last year, on a sunny day in July of 2025. To see more of my field and lab experience, visit the Gallery page.
Outside of the lab, you can find me on the trails with my running club, in the rock gym, or spending time with my pet turtle, Bo.
Thanks for stopping by!

Measuring a greenhouse gas flux (CO2, CH4) near Sitnasuaq (Nome), Alaska (USA). PC: T. Lübker 2023
The field site I worked in for most of my PhD work, Siikaneva Bog (Finland). 2022
The day I defended my PhD thesis in July of 2025. PC: M. Kaspar. Golm, Germany
Soils from the field were processed in the cold lab to keep the ice-rich samples from thawing. Pictured is myself, and Marianne Böhm (now at Uni Stockholm)
Bogged down? Not us! Myself, Mélissa Laurent, and Jakob Reif in Siikaneva Bog, 2022. PC: Katharina Jentzsch
The view from the laboratory I worked in during my masters, at Florida State University. 2021
