The Laboratory

The Soil Chemistry Laboratory is a research-oriented facility which is well equipped for chemical and mineralogical analyses of soils, sediments, rocks, minerals, atmospheric dusts, and related environmental materials. A special focus is the quantification and speciation of trace elements in solid and aqueous environmetal samples. Since we are interested in mineral and organic components of soils and the composition of soil water and air, we routinely apply a variety of different analytical techniques in our research.
