Our research
We study the field of Earth System Science - nature, human society and their interactions in time and space. In an international, dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment, our research address global challenges such as climate change and the adaptation towards a sustainable world.
Our expertise lies in the fields of Physical geography, Geology, and Ecosystem Science. Our strong research areas are "Climate and Climate Change", "The Geosphere" and "Earth Surface Processes". We specialize in tools applied in these areas, such as dendrochronology, isotope analysis, Geographical Information Systems and remote sensing.
Sustainable innovative drinking water treatment solutions
