Research Interests

My research focuses on understanding the impact of climate change on soil and aquatic biogeochemical cycles via studying microbial community functions and metabolism. I currently lead the permafrost microbiology component of the multi-institutional NGEE Arctic project of DOE in which we study microbial carbon cycling in climate sensitive regions in the arctic. I am also part of Terrestrial Ecosystem Science at Berkeley Lab team studying the consequences of increasing soil temperatures on soil carbon cycling in-situ manipulation experiments. Lastly, my most recent project aims to define microbial functions and their controls on terrestrial carbon and nutrient turn-over at terrestrial to aquatic interfaces.
