    Environmental Chemistry

    In the Environmental Chemistry Department, we analyse and assess the impact of the behaviour of chemical substances that enter the environment either intentionally or unintentionally.

  • Environmental Systems

    Environmental Systems

    The Environmental Systems department investigates the interrelations between ecological processes on various scales, from standardised test systems in the greenhouse to complex analyses at landscape level.

  • Environmental Technology

    Environmental Technology

    Environmental Technology is committed to making practical improvements to a variety of agricultural processes. Via the reduction and utilisation of residual products, emissions and production residues, it also generates new both ecological and economic alternatives.
