Environmental Geochemistry
...
We study the biogeochemical processes at the Earth's surface and the interactions between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and soils. Our research focuses on:
- Biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and pollutants
- Geochemistry of rocks, soils, sediments and regolith
- Groundwater systems and groundwater–surface water interaction
- Remediation of degraded and contaminated industrial sites and landscapes
- Sequestration of CO2 in soil carbon and minerals
- The impacts of human activities on biogeochemical and physical processes
- Astrobiology and the geochemistry of planetary surfaces
