Permoserstrasse 15
04318 Leipzig

Dr. Hans-Hermann Richnow
CurrentHead of the Department Isotope Biogeochemistry
1998Habilitation in Biogeochemistry (Institute of Biogeochemistry and Marine Chemistry) at the University of Hamburg
1991Ph.D. in Organic Geochemistry (Institute of Biogeochemistry and Marine Chemistry)
1986Diploma in Geology (GPI, Faculty of Geoscience)

The research of the Link internLink interndepartment of Isotope Biogeochemistry focuses on the application of stable isotope techniques to characterise the biogenic transformation of organic chemicals in soils and aquifers and to anaerobic biodegradation of organic contaminants.
