"Aquaterrestrial Biogeochemistry"

Nutrient cycling within and between dry soils and wet sediments.

In our lab we are broadly interested in the questions:
      1. How do ecosystems retain nutrients and energy?
      2. How is the answer to Q1 changing as a result of human activities?

Our research primarily focuses on the controls on carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling in soils and sediments.  We are particularly interested in studying biogeochemical cycling at interfaces - be it the surface:subsurface of stream channels, the surface-water:groundwater of riparian zones, or the root:rhizosphere of upland soils.
