Researchers and scientists of the Department of Marine Chemistry in close collaboration with researchers of the Department of Marine Geology & Geophysics are active in the study of the early diagenesis of marine sediments in various marine environments.

Benthic fluxes and porewater profiles of chemical compounds (e.g nutrients, metals etc) are also explored in semi-enclosed gulfs or pelagic seafloor environments with different characteristics of interest (e.g. mud volcanoes).
