Our aim is to better understand the dynamics of the matter beneath our feet. To this end, we are looking for suitable soil chemistry analysis methods to meet current challenges and reconstruct past living environments (historical and prehistoric land use). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our projects focus on the impact of humans on their environment – phenomena that are summarized under the term Anthropocene<\/em>. To this end, we often work together with archaeologists and jointly create an idea of past living environments. In addition to past human-environment relationships, we are also interested in current and methodological issues relating to Soil Geography. To this end, we use analytical chemistry methods that are available to us in our geolab, where we take a close look at inorganic and organic molecules from the soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you interested? Please feel free to contact us for more information about Soil Geography at the University of Mainz. We look forward to hearing from you! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The experimental and analytical laboratory equipment is oriented towards the research units [im Rahmen der Forschungsinitiative 2008-11] and is used for qualified student training. The Soil Geography work group has laboratories and expertise for organic and inorganic soil\/geochemistry and trace analysis. Field soil analysis equipment enables us to approach and sample soils in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-collapsiblearea><\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n\n\n
