Short description
The Hydrogeology Research Group is involved in fundamental research, teaching, and stakeholder activities in the field of hydrogeology, contaminant hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry. The Hydrogeology Group focuses on two main research topics: fresh water resources under changing environmental and climatic conditions and the behavior of contaminants in the subsurface. The Hydrogeology Group has strong relations with international research groups and private companies in Germany, Switzerland, Canada, USA and France.
Research topics
- Integrated water resource management
- Impact of climate change and anthropogenic pressure on hydrological and hydrogeological systems on different scales
- Development of new stable isotope methods to assess the transport and transformation of contaminants (chlorinated solvents, pesticides, plastic and PFASs) in complex subsurface environments
- Development of innovative remediation concepts for contaminated sites
