Apl. Prof. Dr. Jörg Prietzel
Academic Career and Research Areas
Prof. Prietzel's (*1963) fields of research include (i) the investigation of effects of human activities (e.g. atmospheric S and N emissions, fertilization, liming, forest conversion, climate change, ungulate management) on the chemistry of forest soils and forest soil seepage water, and (ii) the development and application of new synchrotron-based X-ray (micro)spectroscopy methods to elucidate (micro)spatial distribution patterns of different species of important bio-elements (C, N, S, P, Ca, Mg, Fe) in soils and soil aggregates.
From 1984 to 1990 Prof. Prietzel studied geography/hydrology at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg/Germany and soil science, quaternary geology, and limnology at the Norwegian Agricultural University in As/Norway. He received his PhD (1992) and habilitation (1999) at the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich in the subject of Soil Science. After a research semester at the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA (1999), he has been working at the TUM Chair of Soil Science.
