Linnæus University Geochemistry Research Group

The research focuses on transport and speciation of chemical elements in the landscape. This includes studies of stream waters, ground waters, soils, sediments and fractured bedrock. We are carrying out studies in the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, in boreal forest and farmland areas, and in the subandean Amazonia.

The research is part of the scientific Nova FoU organisation in Oskarshamn, and is financed by SKB, Linnæus University, Knowledge Foundation, Sida and SGU.
