Current Research
Our research is focused on the general areas of microbial ecology and environmental microbiology. Currently our focus is on understanding how microbial biodiversity and functional patterns are linked to themselves and to ecosystem level processes. Specifically we are working on the link between microbial populations and greenhouse gas emissions.
