Dr. Annika Parviainen holds a MSc. in Geology and Mineralogy (University of Helsinki, Finland; 2005), PhD in Geoenvironmental Engineering (Aalto University School of Technology, Finland; 2012), and a PhD in Geology and Environmental Management of Raw Materials (University of Huelva, Spain; 2013). Her research focuses on the environmental impacts of mining and industrial wastes (phosphogypsum), especially on the mobility of metals to the surrounding soils, waters, and air. Her research is mainly focused on environmental geochemistry and mineralogy, and she has expanded her research to encompass the interdisciplinary field of Medical Geology by assessing the impact of mining pollution on humans (gallstones, blood, and urine). Dr. Parviainen is an Associate Editor in the Journal of Geochemical Exploration (2015-present). She was an Associate Editor (2017-2019) and an editorial board member (2019-2024) in Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis.
