Sarah Conrad

Sarah Conrad is a Senior Lecturer at Luleå University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering and the Division of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering. Her research bridges terrestrial, limnic, and marine systems, focusing on element export, chemical weathering, and climate change impacts on mineral nutrient cycling.

Research Interests: Her work emphasizes applied geochemistry, isotope analysis, and biogeochemical processes. Key areas include trace metal mobilization, redox-driven mineral dissolution, and sustainable water treatment technologies using biochar or lignin-based materials.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches, combining isotope geochemistry with environmental engineering. Topics span from mine tailings remediation to adsorbent material synthesis and rare earth element behavior in boreal streams.

Collaborations and Grants: She has collaborated with institutions like the Earth Observatory of Singapore and received funding from Interreg Aurora, Swedish Research Council Formas, and The Kempe Foundations.
