Further Information on the Thematic Field
The Department of Environmental Sciences conducts interdisciplinary research and provides solutions to stewardship the natural resources plants, water and air in the view of the human perspective. By that we are contributing to providing high quality food and an intact environment. We are tackling actual problems of society and environment such as:
- the quality of drinking water resources which are endangered by chemical and biological pollution
- the quality of plants and soils in the light of global change and actual developments in soil use and management
- air quality with specific focus on ambient and biogenic aerosols
- prevention of human diseases associated with environmental factors.
- the need of new bioactive compounds in agronomic and health issues and thus the sustainable use of ecosystem resources
Our goals are to understand the fundamental principles of ecosystem functioning. We develop new concepts for a sustainable use of ecosystem services, which provide mankind with the most essential goods plants, water and air by minimizing chemical inputs and hazardous emissions. Specifically, the department investigates complex interactions of abiotic and biotic components in terrestrial and sub surface ecosystems. The focus of research is on elucidating chemical and biological mechanisms and on regulating processes from the molecule to the organism and subsequently to entire ecosystems. The department provides a bridge between the Helmholtz research fields ‘Health’ and ‘Earth and Environment’, and is integrated into the Munich university landscape.
