Dr. Christian J. Renggli

I am and experimental planetary scientist conducting research on the behavior and properties of gases in planetary environments. My main research interests lie in the investigation of gas-solid rections between sulfur rich volcanic gases and rocks, minerals and glasses on the Earth, the Moon and Mercury, and metal transport and deposition processes in volcanic gases. I design experimental approaches to processes that can not directly be accessed in nature, for example due to inherent dangers on volcanoes.
