Key publications

Academic and research staff are actively involved in the following areas:

Biogeochemistry of iron, sulfur and carbon in extremely acidic environments
Effects of climate change and eutrophication on drinking water quality
Effects of climate change and eutrophication on high carbon storage intensity aquatic ecosystems (wetlands and lakes)
Establishing microbial pathways and microbial contributions in cycling biogenic elements (e.g. carbon), in ruminants, soil and in marine systems.
Genetic modification of crop plants in order to increase disease resistance (e.g. potato and tomato)
Molecular approaches to reduce decomposition rates of peatland plants and therefore increase carbon sequestration rates
Use of constructed wetland to purify wastewaters and increase habitat quality
