Profile
The way humans exploit natural resources often has negative impacts on the environment. In order to minimize the negative impacts, it is important to understand how the processes work and how the impacts affect the ecosystems. How can we protect groundwater from pollution? How does life in the sea and the sea water react to an increase in the load from emissions? If you want to work with sustainable development in practice, you have found the right programme option.The Department of Geosciences has a broad research profile in groundwater flow, contaminant transport and remediation, based on laboratory and field experiments as well as computer simulations. Increasingly, scientists are expected to interpret and predict the human impact on the environment such as pollution and eutrophication of coastal waters, rivers, and lakes. Such studies are often based on inadequate previous baseline information with little environmental data prior to the impact of concern.Environmental stratigraphy offers one of the few methods to compensate for this by using microfossils and associated geochemical characteristics in dated sediment cores as indicators of environmental change through time. The research is based on field work, laboratory experiments and comparison with numerical model data.The Department is one of few academic institutions offering environmental micropaleontology in its study programme portefolio.
