Wehrli, Bernhard, Prof.

Research interests

In our research group we study biogeochemical processes in surface waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands) combining chemical analysis, stable isotope techniques, molecular ecology and modeling to quantify the turnover of carbon, nutrients and the associated redox cycles. Part of our efforts is directed towards developing solutions for the integrated management of aquatic systems.

Projects

• The role of lake sediments in the carbon cycle
• Microscale processes at the sediment-water interface
• Environmental change in the Danube Delta
• The African Dams Project (ADAPT)
• AQUATRAIN – EU training network
