Arctic permafrost and carbon cyclingThis research aims to understand Arctic soil carbon dynamics the rate of carbon accumulation under the influence of various winter precipitation treatments at the Toolik Research Field Station in Alaska.
We will measure soil organic carbon chemical composition analysis using FT-IR and mass spectroscopy to understand the response of the below-ground communities and their ecological connection to microplastics. |
Arctic Ocean biogeochemistryThis research aims assess the impact of terrestrial and sea ice freshwater systems on Arctic Ocean biogeochemistry and phytoplankton primary productivity. This research explores the impact of seasonal/natural variability and projected climate change on primary productivity through ship underway systems, stable isotope analysis, and laboratory culture experiments.
