We study how chemicals enter the environment, how they are transported, where they accumulate, how they are removed from the environment, and quantify the different pathways of contaminant exposure to wildlife and humans.
Research at the department aims to contribute to the understanding of the interaction between society and the environment and examines the consequences of human actions.
The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a global health crisis. It is expected to lead to lasting changes in all policy areas of global cooperation and transnational governance – including health, mobility, trade, industry, finance, and sustainability.

Many of the chemical reactions that take place within a cell occur through enzymes – proteins that catalyze reactions. Were it not for enzymes, many of the reactions in the cell would take a very long time that would be incompatible with survival.
How were the exhibition spaces of general art and industrial expositions designed in terms of landscape architecture, with borders, trees, and flowers, and what significance did they convey to the visitor? These issues will be explored within a two-year research project in art history.
Epistemology belongs to the classical fields of theoretical philosophy. The subject is devoted to the study of knowledge as well as other epistemic phenomena such as justification, understanding and defeat
The network activity patterns of the CNS result from an interplay between intrinsic neuronal properties and the connections formed by cells. It is now clear that electrical synapses formed by intercellular connexin channels in gap junctions are common in the mammalian CNS, influencing circuit activity. But exactly how it shapes brain output remains elusive.
How a crime victim’s account is assessed can influence which questions are asked, what evidence is collected and how the case proceeds.
