Yannick Agnan
environmental biogeochemist
My research activities aim to study dynamics of contaminants, such as trace elements and pesticides, as well as organic matter at the interfaces of terrestrial compartments: atmosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. I am interested in contrasting environments, whether natural (temperate forests and polar ecosystems) or anthropogenic (agroecosystems and urban environments). For a better understanding of transfer processes, I use several geochemical tracers, such as stable isotopes and rare earth elements.
