The Big Picture
Our research interests are diverse, but our core focus is on using isotopic measurements of organic materials and trace gases to understand carbon-cycle processes and how they are affected by climate change and anthropogenic activities. Most of our work centers around collecting samples in key field sites and analyzing them in our lab and those of our collaborators, but we also do work on incubation experiments and analyzing large datasets.
