Current Research and Scholarly Interests

Currently my research mainly focuses on soil carbon biogeochemistry in different land use types such as agriculture, forests, meadows, and grasslands. I use stable and radioactive isotopes to trace the movement of carbon and nitrogen through the entire soil system. Specifically, I have focused on response to fire, disturbance, and climate change.
