Prof. Dr. Georg Guggenberger (Dr. in Soil Sciences 1992; Habiliation in Soil Sciences 1998) is Director of the Institute of Soil Science of Leibniz University Hannover. He focuses on biotic-abiotic interactions in soil formation, soil organic matter turnover, and the response of soils on climate and land use change. Together with partners worldwide, he is employing basic knowledge gained in these process studies to identify options for sustainable soil and land use. He is experienced partner, work package leader and speaker of coordinated projects (e.g., EU: CarboExtreme; German Research Foundation: MadSoil, Subsoil; German Ministry of Education and Research: CATCHY, KULUNDA, ReKKS) and integrated PhD programs (national: GeoFluxes, Plant-Soil-Interface; international: TransTiP). He was President and now is Past President of the German Soil Science Society, focusing on the interaction of soil science with the society and policy. In 2017 he was awarded by the European Cultura Award in in 2020 by the Phlippe-Duchaufour Medal of the European Geosciences Union.
