Profile of the Laboratory

The Laboratory for Physical Geography of the Institute for Geographical Sciences investigates water and solid samples (e.g. suspended loads, soils, sediments, solid rocks etc.). The following aspects are conducted: sample preparation for sedimentological  and palynological investigations

  • physical parameters (f.e.determination of grain-size, water content, oven-dry density, magnetic susceptibility etc.)
  • chemical parameters (f.e.pH-value, electric conductivity of soil solutions, phosphate concentration etc.)
  • determination of the mineralogic composition (X-ray diffraction)
  • determination and quantification of the element concentration (f.e.  carbon contents (TC, TIC, TOC), nitrogen (TN), sulphurl (TS), heavy metal concentrations (Zn, Pb, Cd, ...), alkaline metals and  alkaline earth metals as well as main and trace elements)
