VU University Amsterdam

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) is a research university in the Netherlands with around 23,000 students. It was established in 1880 and has since then expanded and presently consists of fifteen faculties employing about 300 professors and 3,300 academic and non-academic staff.

The Department of Earth Sciences, within the Faculty of Sciences of VUA, has the mission to develop a knowledge base for qualitative understanding of the Earth as an integrated dynamic system. The research and graduate student teaching in the Faculty of Earth and Life Science (Cluster Earth and Climate) is focused on hydrological processes, terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemistry, and climate system variability at decadal-to-millennial scales. In close collaboration with Systems Ecology, the Earth and Climate Cluster hosts a Carbon Cycle group, studying the changes and evolution of terrestrial, coastal and ocean environments and its key biogeochemical cycles (C, N) and water. They combine experimental knowledge of these biogeochemical processes with modelling of the earth system.
