To understand changes in the carbon cycle on both
human and geological timescales, we need to understand how carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nutrients, and metals interact in the environment.
​
​
In NOISE Lab at UCSB, we develop and use a variety of cutting-edge analytical tools to study these interactions at the interface between geobiology and geochemistry.
How does sulfur biogeochemistry affect organic matter cycling?
