Welcome to the Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab!

We study biogeochemical cycles along the land-ocean continuum. Our research spans ecosystem types (wetlands to streams to the coast) and latitudes (the Arctic to the tropics) to understand the fate of carbon and other elements in ecosystems most vulnerable to change and with the potential to impact local water quality or global carbon budgets. A large part of our research focuses on the role that natural organic molecules play in biogeochemical cycles, how chemical structure and composition impact their reactivity, and how abiotic pathways contribute to their degradation.
