SWES-MEL

Rich Lab, aka SWES-MEL (U.A. Dept. of Soil, Water and Environmental Science Microbial Ecology Lab)

Our lab studies microbial biogeochemistry. We use molecular microbial ecology techniques and strong partnerships with biogeochemists, informaticians, and modelers to investigate how microbes respond to, and mediate, environments undergoing anthropogenic change. We're a diverse group of scientists, working together on a "systems-level" understanding of microbial community interactions with the environment.
