Research

I have a very wide scientific interest; it may perhaps be problematic for my efficiency: so be it.

•  from inorganic geochemistry via biogeochemistry to ecology

•  from elemental-cycles oriented to organisms-oriented studies

•  from weathering of rocks to deep-sea pore-waters

•  from laboratory studies and field observations to numerical modelling

•  and through the use of reductionistic as well as holistic and explorative approaches.
