Laboratory for Dendroclimatology

The Dendroclimatology Laboratory serves for the reconstruction of temporal and spatial variability of the climate of the past utilizing multi-parameter tree ring analysis.

Aims:

  • to reconstruct the temporal and spatial variability of the climate of…
Laboratory for Microscopy

The Laboratory for Microscopy focuses on the specific requirements of microfacies analysis of lake sediments, but also offers a wide range of possibilities for other applications. Sedimentological, petrographic and microfacies analyses on all kinds …
Laboratory for Tephrochronology

Tephra, the Greek word for ash, is used to describe any material that is ejected by a volcano into the atmosphere (pyroclasts). Tephra includes dense blocks and bombs (> 64 mm), and lighter materials such as scoria, pumice and ash (< 2 mm). As one m…
Laboratory for XRF Element Scanning

The laboratory for XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) Element Scanning focusses on non-destructive and continuous core analyses. These analyses allow detailed geochemical characterisation of complete sediment cores down to individual layers and grains. Bridgi…
Organic Surface Geochemistry Laboratory

In the Organic Surface Geochemistry Lab (OSGLab) of the Geomorphology section, the smallest of molecules and isotopes open a door to the past. In the OSGLab we conduct research on regional differences of the causes and effects of past climate change…
Physical Laboratory

In the Physical Laboratory, experiments are performed to study mainly the interactions of sediment and water, but also measure rheological properties of sediment and prepare samples for further analysis in the other labs. In detail, the following re…
Sediment Laboratory (SedLab)

Tracking Earth surface processes through size and shape of sediment particles

In the SedLab, we analyse the compositional properties of sediments by measuring the full range of grain-size distributions from a few nanometers to centimeters and by det…
Stable Isotope Laboratory for Sediments and Water

In the laboratories for stable isotopes in sediments and water, the isotope ratios of the light elements nitrogen (N), carbon (C) and oxygen (O) in continental geoarchives such as lake sediments and speleothems as well as oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H)…
