Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources
Chair of Applied Geochemistry

The chair conducts research in applied geochemistry and environmental geochemistry to investigate the geochemical cycling of elements in soils, sediments, and surface waters using an interdisciplinary approach. Our research focuses on (bio)geochemical reactions involving iron, carbon, and sulfur and their impact on trace elements in environments affected by human activities and climate change. Furthermore, we aim to develop innovative solutions to these challenges by exploring novel remediation and engineering approaches.
