Description
Geochemistry is concerned with the concentration and distribution of chemical substances in the dynamic Earth system. Geochemistry uses essential chemical concepts and analytical chemistry for the characterization of air, water, soil, sediments, and rocks. Quantitative modelling of geochemical reactions and mass transport are a central component of modern geochemistry. The discipline plays a central role in raw material extraction like critical metal exploitation needed in the green energy transition, the use and storage of renewable energy, and in climate science research. Geochemical analyses of soils, sediment, groundwater, lakes, rivers, and the sea are critical in the assessment of critical ecosystem functions and play a central role in the management of sustainable clean water resources.
Area of interests: Science and Mathematics
Science and mathematics help us understand how the world around us is connected – from the origin and structure of the universe, to the development and function of humanity and all other organisms on earth. Scientific knowledge makes it possible to critically examine the credibility of information in different areas of everyday life, society, and the media. As a scientist or mathematician, you will be attractive on a large job market that covers all parts of society and includes everything from pure technology companies to environment and healthcare, as well as research.
