Influence of electric fields on nutrients fluxes in aquatic sediments

In this project, you will study how the transport of electrically charged molecules of environmental importance (e.g., nitrate, ammonium and phosphate) is altered by electric fields that develop naturally in lake and marine sediments and thereby contribute to expand our understanding on how nutrients are transported in aquatic the environments.

Supervisor: Ugo Marzocchi
