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
