Trace elements in aquatic environments

Our group has conducted researches in river, estuarine, coastal, continental shelf, marginal sea and open ocean waters in order to elucidate relevant and important processes involving trace elements.

Trace elements in natural samples

Our lab is capable to analyze trace element concentrations in various natural environmental samples, including waters, sediments, soils, and organisms.

Trace element speciation

Species of trace elements in natural environments reveal the involvement of the elements to various environmental processes. They also affect chemical reactivity, bioavailability, behavior, and transporting fate of the elements.
