Welcome to the website of the Geochemistry and Isotope Geology Department at the Faculty of Geoscience and Geography in Göttingen!
The Department is an integral part of the Geoscience Centre Göttingen (“Geowissenschaftliches Zentrum Göttingen” – GZG) with collaborations across the Faculty, the Göttingen Campus and beyond (Analytical Services). We collaborate with many national and international researchers on a multitude of topics, some of which you will find highlighted under (Research). The Geochemistry and Isotope Geology Department has recently seen some major instrumental investments, such as the delivery of new mass spectrometers (ThermoFisher Scientific 253 Ultra, Neptune Plus, iCAP-Q, MAT 253), the current installation of a second self-built IR-Laser fluorination line as well as the construction of a new state-of-the-art clean room sample preparation suite (Analytical Facilities).

Interview with Prof. Matthias Willbold

Interview with Prof. Andreas Pack
If you are interested in joining our young and inspiring research team, either as a postdoc, as a PhD student or to carry out your Master’s or Bachelor’s project with us, please get into contact with either Prof. Andreas Pack (stable isotopes) or Prof. Matthias Willbold (radiogenic isotopes). If you are interested in starting a PhD or Postdoc with us, please also check out the Georg-August University School of Science (GAUSS) webpage for further information regarding the University’s current graduate and early career programmes.
For general enquiries please contact our head of administration, Ms. Andrea Beckmann.
We hope you enjoy roaming our website and would welcome your comments. By the way, time permitting, we sometimes simply enjoy the views from our fourth floor offices (see above).
