We focus on mechanisms governing the transport of chemical compounds from soil, to fresh water and through watercourses. More specifically, we conduct research on the effects of climate change on water quality by assessing mobility, transport and effect of heavy metals, POPs and nutrients.
Our research is interdisciplinary, using our knowledge of biogeochemistry, chemical fractionation / speciation and statistics with modelling / simulation, in collaboration with other nature and social scientists to generate knowledge for sustainable management of our natural resources. The studies are mainly conducted in China, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.
