RICHARD LAMPRECHT

Postgraduate student

PhD student in the area of microbial biogeochemistry. In my project I work in permafrost peatlands where I investigate how, and to what extend. the presumed feedback of global warming has its influence on microbial processes in the mineralization of carbon and nitrogen. I focus in my work on how microbes respond to thawing of permafrost and subsequent changes of the physical and chemical stage of the peat soil in lower soil layers and how that influences possible changes of greenhouse gas release of Arctic permafrost peatlands in future.
