Dealing with contaminated sites

Lucerne Metropolitan Area

About

I am a geologist and micropalaeontologist interested in the global analysis of sedimentary basins, their associated palaeoenvironments, litho- and biostratigraphy, clastic sedimentology and fossil assemblages. Since these individual thematic fields present unique views of the same depositional environment , they complement each other for a more comprehensive interpretation. Since 2018 I stretch my legs in the field of contaminated sites and there remediation in landfill and construction site settings.
