Prof. Dr. Britta Planer-Friedrich
Environmental Geochemistry
In Environmental Chemistry, Prof. Planer-Friedrich and her group teach Geochemical Modeling (C1), Analytical Chemistry and Inorganic Pollutants (C2), Mass Spectrometry (C3), Environmental Toxicology and Health, Environmental Forensics (C4), and lead the Field Trip throughout Germany on Environmental Challenges and Solutions (C5). In her research she deals with elements that occur in traces but are of great concern for environmental pollution in natural systems and agricultural products, such as Arsenic or Cadmium in rice. Method development using front-end analytical techniques such as ion chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry are a strength of this group and, including hands-on experiences, part of the students trainings and theses.
