Tino Peplau

Dr. Tino Peplau is a researcher at Leibniz University Hannover, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Institute of Soil Science. He holds positions as Deputy Representative for Research Staff in the Faculty Council and as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Soil Chemistry Section. His work focuses on soil organic matter dynamics, permafrost ecosystems, and the impacts of land-use changes on soil properties in polar and subpolar regions.

Education: PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in Geography from Leibniz University Hannover (2023); MSc in Geography (Resource Analysis and Management) from Georg-August-University Göttingen (2018); BSc in Geographical Sciences from Free University of Berlin (2016).

Research emphasizes soil chemistry, climate change effects on Arctic/subarctic soils, and carbon-iron coupling in permafrost. He contributes to projects like BMBF's MOMENT (methane budget in permafrost ecosystems) and DFG's 'Breaking the Ice' (land-use changes on thawing permafrost).

Professional activities include peer review for journals like Geoderma and membership in societies such as the German Soil Science Society (DBG) and Permafrost Young Researcher Network (PYRN).
