conducting fundamental research on soil carbon cycling that supports the Climate and Land Use (CLU)
R&D program and externally funded USDA grant. The overarching goal is to study the interactions
among mineral assemblages, microbial communities, and carbon forms that will ultimately inform
next-generation carbon cycle models. The research will encompass lab and field studies and will
employ a combination of spectroscopic, microbial, and isotopic techniques. Field studies will be
focused on climo-chronosequences along the California coastal range near Santa Cruz and Mattole,
CA. Laboratory studies will focus on constructed soil microcosms, and will involve the development
and use of microbeam Raman and infrared (IR) techniques as well as isotope tracing to visualize the
fate of carbon in the three dimensional structure of soil.
