Environmental Chemistry at the University of Bayreuth is organized by the research groups for Atmospheric Chemistry, Environmental Geochemistry, Experimental Biogeochemistry/Microbiology, Hydrology/Hydrochemistry, Isotope Geochemistry, and Soil Ecology/Soil Chemistry. The lecturers are internationally renowned experts in their fields and have an excellent international network.
In Environmental Chemistry, Dr. Alexander Frank teaches Isotope Biogeochemistry. If you are interested how stable isotopes can be used to determine environmental processes, visit the BayCenSI website.
In Environmental Chemistry, Prof. Lehndorff and her group teach Soil and Terrestrial Biogeochemistry 1 and 2 (S1, S2) and Soil Pollution & Organic Pollutants (S3). Her group investigates the role of soils for ecosystem functioning under changing environmental conditions covering soil biological and soil chemical aspects of the element turnover.
NN
In Environmental Chemistry, NN teaches Atmospheric Chemistry and Atmospheric Aerosols (A1) and the Atmospheric Chemistry Project (A2).
Experimental Biogeochemistry / Environmental Microbiology
In Environmental Chemistry, Dr. Obst teaches Geochemical Modeling (C1), Environmental Microbiology (EB1) and the Analytical Microscopy Project (EB2). He is interested in how chemical micro- and submicro-environments with steep geochemical gradients control element speciation and stability and applies a large array of microscopic and spectroscopic state-of-the art analytical techniques.
In Environmental Chemistry, Prof. Knapp and her group teach, Reactive Transport in Environmental Systems (W2), Biogeochemical Cycles in Aquatic Systems (W3), and Hydrology and Organic Pollutants (W4). Research focuses on hydrology and water quality besides hydrological processes and hydrological modeling.
BayCEER Keylab Chemical Analytics
In Environmental Chemistry, Dr. Metreveli teaches Analytical Chemistry- Basic Methods (C2), Inorganic Pollutants & Environmental Forensics (C3), Environmental Analytical Chemistry II - Advanced Methods (C4), and Mass Spectrometry (C5). His research interests and method development focus on single-particle ICP-MS. His courses offer hands-on experiences with modern analytical techniques, he offers part of the students practical trainings and theses.
