Welcome to the Land-Ocean Biogeochemistry lab at the University of Alberta. Our research is broadly focused on understanding the current and future functioning of the linked continuum that connects soil porewaters to our planet's coastal oceans, and how biogeochemical change affects ecological function. We think about climate change, permafrost, carbon cycling, and nutrient dynamics, and how these processes act and interact in land-ocean systems from the Canadian Arctic to the Pacific Coast.
Although our research is field focused, much of what we do also has a strong analytical component. Students in the lab master a variety of skills, including an array of laboratory, statistical, and experimental techniques. Our work is inherently multi-disciplinary, and we collaborate with other scientists from across Canada and internationally to increase the strength and impact of our work.
