Congratulations Joëlle!
Joëlle Kubeneck has successfully defended her doctoral thesis in the Soil Chemistry group.
New publication reveals how 'Contact with soil impacts ferrihydrite and lepidocrocite transformations during redox cycling in a paddy soil'
The new publication in Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts, follows the transformation of ferrihydrite and lepidocrocite in periodically flooded rice paddy soils. The work comes out of the ERC IRMIDYN project, and was led by Katrin Schulz, with Luiza Notini, Andrew Grigg, Joëlle Kubeneck, Worachart Wisawapipat (Kasetsart Univeristy), Laurel ThomasArrigo (now at the University of Neuchatel) and Ruben Kretzschmar.
Andrew Grigg's doctoral defence
Andrew has successfully defended his doctoral thesis.
A New Approach for Investigating Iron Mineral Transformations in Soils and Sediments
A key aspect of the ERC 'IRMIDYN' project is the development of techniques to study Fe mineral transformations in soils and sediments using isotopically labeled Fe minerals and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The approach is explained in a new publication in Environmental Science & Technology, titled 'A New Approach for Investigating Iron Mineral Transformations in Soils and Sediments Using 57Fe-Labeled Minerals and 57Fe Mössbauer Spectroscopy'.
Coprecipitation with Ferrihydrite Inhibits Mineralization of Glucuronic Acid in an Anoxic Soil
A new publication in the journal Environmental Science & Technology demonstrates the importance of mineral protection for the understanding of soil organic carbon mobilisation and degredation under reducing conditions.
