Annette Affolter Kast

Annette Affolter Kast is a Lecturer and Research Assistant at the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Basel. She works within the Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences, focusing on hydrogeological and environmental biogeochemical processes.

• Current research includes thermal impacts of underground structures on aquifers
• Investigates climate change adaptation strategies through managed aquifer recharge
• Active in environmental monitoring and sustainable groundwater management

Her work intersects with interdisciplinary projects addressing the Earth system's response to anthropogenic activities. Key collaborations involve assessing thermal exploitation of water resources and evaluating subsurface climate change mitigation techniques.

Technical expertise includes isotope geochemical analysis and modeling of environmental systems, particularly in urban and alluvial settings.
