Therese Weißbach

Research Interests:

• Paleo hydrology using 
• Stable isotopes in fluid inclusions of speleothem carbonate
• noble gas solubility in stalagmite inclusions and in groundwater

Therese Weißbach is a PhD student at the Institute of Environmental Physics where she focuses on developing and applying a new laser-spectroscopic system for the analysis of fluids inclusion water δ18O and δD values in speleothems. Her studies at the Heidelberg University and Utrecht University focus on aquatic system research, paleo-hydrology, stable isotope geochemistry and noble gas thermometry in speleothems and groundwater.
