Christoph Wanner

Christoph Wanner is an accomplished environmental geochemist with a keen interest in understanding the fate and transport of environmental contaminants, particularly aluminum and arsenic, in the environment. He uses an integrated approach of laboratory experiments, field studies, and reactive transport modeling supported by state-of-the-art analytical techniques to investigate this area. Wanner's exceptional background includes a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Geochemistry, a Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Geochemistry, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Geological and Earth Sciences/Geosciences, all from the University of Bern. Currently a Staff Scientist at the university, Wanner is also a former Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a former Consultant Hydrogeochemist at Kellerhals+Haefeli AG Bern. In his previous role, he studied and successfully remedied Cr(VI) contamination sites. In his current projects, Wanner focuses on thermal-hydraulic and chemical processes in crystalline basements and the resolution of scaling issues in geothermal power plants. His vast experience in geosciences makes him an expert in his field.
