Research group Biogeochemistry

Biogeochemical cycles under anthropogenic change.

In the Biogeochemistry Unit, we study the cycles of carbon, nutrients and trace elements on land, in water and in the atmosphere, and their interaction with human activities. Our research integrates large-scale field studies from the Arctic to the tropics with molecular and isotopic tools, statistical and modelling approaches, to quantify key processes of the Earth System, track natural and anthropogenic changes, and predict the impact of perturbations such as climate change on these processes and resulting feedbacks.  We teach bachelor and master level courses on biogeochemical cycles and their interaction and feedbacks with climate change and other anthropogenic perturbations, including in the master program in Environmental Science - Atmosphere, Biogeosphere and Climate.
