Joëlle Kubeneck has successfully defended her doctoral thesis in the Soil Chemistry group.

To mark World Soil Day 2023, Agroscope has published the Geochemical Soil Atlas of Switzerland. The atlas presents a survey of the geogenic distribution of 20 toxic and/or essential elements in Swiss soils, and several other soil parameters, using soil samples from across the country and interpolation to produce the cartographic visualisations. Jolanda Reusser, based at Agroscope and the IBP is lead author, and Ruben Kretzschmar is a contributing co-author.
