Overview

Dieke Postma is affiliated with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland in Denmark. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with specific expertise in geochemistry and petrology, environmental chemistry, and environmental engineering. The scientist has contributed to the understanding of pollution and inorganic chemistry within these domains.

Their work extensively covers key topics such as groundwater and isotope geochemistry, groundwater flow and contamination studies, arsenic contamination and mitigation, soil and water nutrient dynamics, and the presence and effects of heavy metals in the environment. Additionally, their research addresses aspects of radioactive element chemistry and processing, as well as heavy metal exposure and toxicity.

Postma has published several recent papers including the following:

  • Groundwater-controlled phosphorus release and transport from sandy aquifer into lake (2020) in Limnology and Oceanography
  • Transport of geogenic phosphorus to a groundwater-dominated eutrophic lake (2021) in Journal of Hydrology
  • Groundwater arsenic content related to the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Red River delta, Vietnam (2021) in The Science of The Total Environment
  • Groundwater arsenic content in quaternary aquifers of the Red River delta, Vietnam, controlled by the hydrogeological processes (2022) in Journal of Hydrology
  • Isotopic Exchange between Aqueous Fe(II) and Solid Fe(III) in Lake SedimentA Kinetic Assemblage Approach (2025) in Environmental Science & Technology

The scientist frequently collaborates with several co-authors, notably Jolanta Kaźmierczak, Rasmus Jakobsen, Sascha Müller, Bertel Nilsson, and Joanna Czekaj.

Their research is published predominantly in the following venues:

  • Journal of Hydrology
  • Limnology and Oceanography
  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • Environmental Science & Technology
  • Ministry of Science and Technology Vietnam
