Want to learn about soil? The Institute of Soil Science at University of Hamburg is the right address!

At the Institute of Soil Science we strive to expand our knowledge of soil characteristics and soil function, the processes that take place in soils, and how these processes interact with other compartments of the earth and climate system. We aim to impart this new-found knowledge to students at our Institute.

The Institute is chiefly responsible for the interdisciplinary BSc and MSc degree programs in the geosciences and is also involved in the international MSc degree program in Integrated Climate System Sciences (ICSS). Our graduate and postgraduate training largely takes place in structured graduate programs (School of Integrated Climate System Sciences, Research Training Group 2530 Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries).

The Institute of Soil Science is a teaching and research institute belonging to the Department of Earth System Sciences in the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences (MIN) at the University of Hamburg. The Institute of Soil Science is involved in the Cluster of Excellence CLICCS (Climate, Climatic Change, and Society), and the Research Training Group 2530 Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries and forms part of the KlimaCampus Hamburg. Many scientists of the Institute are member of the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN), which is the first research center of the University of Hamburg.
