The Molecular geochemistry Laboratory

The Molecular Geochemistry Laboratory is a multidisciplinary group looking at connecting the very small -- atoms -- with the very large -- rocks and minerals.

The group is housed in the Department of Chemistry at Umeå University, and is led by six PIs: Erik Björn, Jean-François Boily, Michael Holmboe, C. A. Ohlin, Andrey Shchukarev, and Staffan Sjöberg.

See Research for more information.

The Molecular Geochemistry Laboratory is found on the sixth floor of the Chemical Institution, Linnaeus väg 10, Umeå University, Umeå.
