Our research is centered around:

Analytical geochemistry

• Chemical state and distribution of elements in the biogeosphere: Concentrations, mobility, speciation
• Element analysis at ultra-trace levels, biogenic organic acids, natural complexing agents

Biogeochemical processes and dynamics

• Large-scale element cycles, carbon dynamics in soil, regional water quality development, regional spreading of persistent agents, regional alterations of the biogeosphere
• Soil remediation and geologic waste deposition
• Contaminated land management (risk assessment, remedial technology), long-term waste deposition in geologic environments - radioactive waste, mercury. Geologic filters (reactive barriers), alkaline processes (cement environments)

 Research projects 

Ecosystem ecology

• Stable carbon isotopes as a tool to model carbon fluxes in soil respiration studies
