Laura Sigg is an internationally renowned expert in the aquatic geochemistry and ecotoxicology of trace metals. During her outstanding career as a researcher at Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, and adjunct professor at the Department of Environmental Systems Science of ETH Zurich, she pioneered the development of new theoretical concepts as well as practical methods for the assessment of the speciation, fate and effect of trace metals in the hydrosphere (Fig. 1). During his stay in Toulouse as invited professor some years ago, George Luther III proposed us to edit a special issue of Aquatic Geochemistry to honor our colleague Laura Sigg, who serves as a long-term associate editor of this journal. We were very happy to take up this challenge and invited people to submit original manuscripts to a special issue focusing on the fields of speciation, bioavailability and ecotoxicology of trace metals in natural waters. After being educated in chemistry with Paul W. Schindler at the University of Bern, where she learned the precision and rigor of experimental work and how to assess and synthetize ideas, Laura Sigg moved to Zurich and worked for her PhD with Werner Stumm. She started the first part of her career with ground-breaking research on thermodynamic models for adsorption processes at the solid–water interface and published two highly influential papers which became classics in this field (Stumm et al. 1980; Sigg and Stumm 1981).
