Environmental Physics
: Overview and NewsWelcome to the Environmental Physics (UP) Group
We study the interaction between the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles and climate from the global to regional scales. Using observations and models we strive to understand how physical, chemical and ecological processes control these cycles and how they respond to both natural and anthropogenic change.
The group is chaired by Prof. Nicolas Gruber and works on a wide array of topics in ocean biogeochemistry, ecology, and climate. We also teach courses from the bachelor level all the way up to continuing education courses. We are always looking for students interested in bachelor and master studies.
We are part of the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics (IBP) at the Department of Environmental System Sciences (D-USYS).
