معرفی
Professor Juerg Matter is a faculty member at the University of Southampton, holding the position of Professor of Geoengineering & Carbon Management. His research focuses on carbon mineralization in ultramafic rocks, serpentinization processes, and subsurface biogeochemistry. He leads the Center for Interacting Geo-processes in Mineral Carbon Storage and collaborates on projects like the Oman Drilling Project, investigating CO2 storage potential in ophiolites. Key affiliations include the Geochemistry Institute, Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute, and the Institute for Life Sciences.
His research explores low-temperature hydrogen production from peridotites, nitrogen cycling in serpentinizing systems, and CO2 sequestration in mantle rocks. He has contributed to international initiatives such as the ICDP Oman Drilling Project and Greenhouse Gas Removal via Enhanced Rock Weathering (GGREW). His work integrates geology, geochemistry, and microbiology to address climate change challenges.
