Now he is involved in the P-Trap project (Preventing Phosphorus Input to Surface Waters – New Concepts in Trapping, Recycling and Management) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant. P-TRAP tackles two urgent interlinked global problems: Potential shortages of phosphate (P) for producing agricultural fertilizers and the decline of surface water quality upon excess phosphate input. During his PhD studies, he will focus on the rates and mechanisms involved in Fe and P mobilization from the iron phosphate vivianite and will investigate the effect of the geochemical environment on this process.
