Our Research
Our research projects, carried out between the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department F.-A. Forel for environmental and aquatic sciences, are centered on seven main research themes. Our interdisciplinary approach, as well as high-quality infrastructure, easy acces to interesting field areas and funding from national and international agencies, allow us to make important contributions in all fields of geosciences from the more fundamental to the more applied.
