Rik I.L. Eggen is affiliated with ETH Zurich in Switzerland and focuses on environmental science with a specialization in ecology, pollution, and related subfields. Their research addresses complex interactions within microbial communities, environmental contaminants, and ecosystem functions.
Their recent publications highlight studies on wastewater and its environmental impacts. Notable works include:
The main fields of study encompass environmental science broadly, with specific attention to ecology, pollution, health, toxicology, mutagenesis, plant science, and insect science. The subfields of ecology and pollution are particularly prominent in their body of work.
Key topics investigated by Eggen include microbial community ecology and physiology, pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts, freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, pesticide exposure and toxicity, pesticide and herbicide environmental studies, and wastewater treatment and nitrogen removal.
Their work has been published frequently in several scientific journals, including Water Research, Global Change Biology, Environmental Health Insights, The Science of The Total Environment, and AMBIO.
Eggen collaborates regularly with a group of co-authors involved in environmental and microbial research. Frequent co-authors include Christian Stamm, Adriano Joss, Ahmed Tlili, Philipp Staudacher, and Katja Räsänen, with collaboration counts ranging from three to ten joint publications.
