Research interests
I am a geomicrobiologist interested in how microorganisms control the cycling of elements in the environment. My main areas of research focus on:
- The role of microorganisms in carbon and nutrient cycling during restoration of peatlands
- Microbial controls on element cycling during permafrost thaw in the Arctic
- Physiology and biomineralization of iron-respiring bacteria; and their impacts on both modern and precambrian environments
- Microbial drivers of rock weathering in extreme environments
