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, from undergraduate researchers through postdocs, working together on a "systems-level" understanding of microbial community interactions with the environment.
