Projekte:

Rare earth elements (REE) are essential geochemical tracers and "critical raw materials" in modern technologies. Their interactions with iron (oxyhydr)oxides play a key role in REE geochemical cycling and are closely linked to resource formation. My research at GFZ focuses on the partitioning and redistribution of REE on Fe (oxyhydr)oxides during Earth's surface weathering. Through laboratory simulations, combined with electron microscopy, spectroscopic analysis, and other advanced techniques, we aim to understand how Fe (oxyhydr)oxides regulate REE geochemical behavior during weathering, as well as the availability and extraction strategies of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides-associated REE resources.
