Focus: Determination of drivers of water, nutrient, and contaminant fluxes in catchments

The research encompasses the delineation of nutrient and contaminant sources as well as the recognition and quantification of biogeochemical matter transformations in surface and subsurface catchments across scales by means of stable isotope methods. Natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in concert with stable isotopes of the water molecule are utilized to provide information on water flow paths, on water travel and residence times, and on water exchange between different hydrological compartments for the implementation in conceptual hydrological, hydrogeological and reactive transport models.

Die Forschung der Arbeitsgruppe ist auf die quantitative und qualitative Bewertung von Grundwasser Ressourcen ausgerichtet. Ziel ist den Ist-Zustand und die mögliche Entwicklung von Wasser-Ressourcen in Deutschland und darüber hinaus im europäischen und im semi-ariden Raum zu definieren. Der Einsatz multidisziplinärer Monitoringtechnologien und kombinierter Modellierungswerkzeuge steht im Vordergrund der Tätigkeiten.

In the WaterExtremes group we develop effective process-informed data-driven methods grounded in comprehensive perceptual representation of dominant hydrological dynamics and catchment organization to leverage the increasing sample sizes of hydrometeorological observations from small- to mesoscales. With these methods we uncover regularities in complex hydrological systems to understand better the emergence of extremes and provide more reliable predictions at large scales
