About SEEO

I am Cleo Stratmann, an environmental engineer with a strong belief in collaboration and systems thinking. SEEO – Scientific Environmental Engineering and Outreach – was founded in 2024 with the mission to fight plastic pollution and protect our waters by translating scientific expertise into concrete actions with high impact. 

With more than 8 years of professional experience in the fields of freshwater ecology, environmental plastic pollution, and interdisciplinary research, I continue my commitment to environmental conservation in Germany and beyond. This endeavor is guided by a solution-oriented and client-friendly approach to deliver relevant and tangible solutions.

Outreach and events

#MarineSustainability #ResearchIndustryCollaboration

In collaboration with Atrium Environmental, SEEO developed and presented an interactive map showcasing marine sustainability initiatives for research-industry collaboration at the Waterkant Festival in Kiel. The project focused on scientific and educational projects and provided content about marine plastic pollution, solutions, and sustainability topics.

Science Education

#Communication #Education #PlasticPollution #MarineEcology

At the event Store Barnes Fjæresdag (Children’s Spring Beach Day) in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Cleo managed the plastics-stand and excelled in making complex scientific topics engaging and accessible to young audiences. Through interactive activities like examining different types of plastics, observing microplastics under a microscope, and comparing natural materials with plastics, Cleo successfully sparked curiosity and interest in children and adults alike. Her innovative approach to teaching about the negative effects of plastic pollution, ensures that even challenging topics become approachable and memorable.

Freshwater Microplastic Pollution

#Freshwater #Microplastics #Data  #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Research

Cleo Stratmann conducted her PhD project “Monitoring and Modelling Microplastics in the Greater Paris and the River Seine” as an Early Stage Researcher within the interdisciplinary Marie-Sklodowska-Curie-Action Innovative Training Network (MSCA-ITN) Limnoplast at the Water, Environment and Urban Systems Laboratory (LEESU) of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech (ENPC). She managed various aspects of the research project, conducting extensive studies on riverine microplastic pollution in rural and urban environments. Cleo developed and executed a one-year microplastic monitoring program along the Seine River, harmonized sampling and extraction methodologies, and worked closely with stakeholders such as Parisian wastewater treatment management (SIAAP). Her role involved analyzing microplastic, water quality, and hydrological data, authoring reports and scientific papers, and presenting results. Additionally, she participated in various training activities and workshops, supervised a master’s student and two interns, and contributed to public outreach through webinars, videos, and social media.

Slide 2

Henriette Vaagland, Senior Engineer, Department of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences​

"It was great SEEO joined the big event Barnas Store Fjæredag in Trondheim. The kids visiting SEEO learned a lot about the big challenge – plastic pollution – in an interactive way. Keep up this important job – professionals meet public!"

Slide 3

Dr. Julie Hopper, Sustainability data analyst, University of Southern California, USA​

“Cleo is an amazing teammate, always willing to go the extra mile to solve a problem and to get the job done (and a job well done at that!). Cleo and I worked together during the 2021 Scripps-Rady Ocean Plastic Pollution Challenge where she taught herself QGIS in a matter of weeks and created beautiful maps for our team to display plastic pollution hotspots in the San Diego Area. (…) If you want your team and projects to excel then I highly recommend hiring Cleo! ”
