Peter Engelund Holm

Peter Engelund Holm is a Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in environmental chemistry and physics. His research focuses on soil and groundwater contamination, particularly heavy metals and arsenic, with emphasis on climate-related impacts and remediation technologies.

His core research domains include:

• Soil Chemistry
• Environmental Chemistry
• Heavy Metal Remediation
• Phytoremediation
• Groundwater Contamination
• Climate Change impacts on soil systems

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant trends in arsenic mobility, biochar-mediated debromination, and acid mine drainage remediation. His work consistently integrates experimental soil chemistry with practical environmental engineering solutions, particularly leveraging plant-based systems and waste-derived materials like biochar for contaminant immobilization and recovery.

He maintains active international collaborations, evidenced by South African fieldwork and participation in Danish water/climate initiatives including OZwater Trade Exhibition seminars. His 24 documented activities include conference organization, peer review, and media engagements such as interviews with Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and videnskab.dk.
