Welcome to the Environmental Chemistry Group!

Soil is a cornerstone of Earth’s ecosystems, driving the global cycling of carbon, nutrients, and trace elements, and influencing the fate of contaminants. In the Environmental Chemistry Group, we investigate the biogeochemical processes governing these cycles, with a focus on the role of soil mineral phases. Our research integrates laboratory experiments, field studies, and modeling to uncover how soils regulate nutrient availability, carbon storage, and contaminant dynamics. By advancing this understanding, we aim to better predict how terrestrial environments respond to changing environmental conditions.
