Since 2008, and the reorganisation of the Institute, three key areas may be noted: The expansion into modern physical/geographical field equipment (soil/sediments/water/air), the establishment of a geo-ecological lab setup (soil/water analytics) and the establishment of GIS workstations. Lab equipment and usage are shared in a cost-efficient manner with Chemistry and Biology. Good central infrastructure; Teaching-related IT services (LearnWeb, forums); 181 computer workstations are available for students 24h a day; Multi-media rooms, video conference rooms.

Human-influenced landscape research is the main focus. Taking a holistic view, the focus is on landscape factors with a pronounced anthropogenic character and the interaction complex of causes, dimension and consequences in landscape development. The methodical area of focus is the application of GIS to supplement accurate qualitative geostatistical statements with quantitative areal statements.
