            ******************************************************************************************
            Environmental geochemistry group is composed of researchers at the Institute of Geochemist

            and Mineral Resources and at the Laboratories of the Geological Institutes of the Faculty 
            joint research is focused on processes related to biogeochemical cycles of elements near t
            such as metals and metalloids from anthropogenic sources. In addition, it involves interac

            hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere and waste matter, as well as development of new analyt
            environmental geology. The research activities are realised in the Czech Republic, in Euro
            other continents, such as Africa and America.
