Specialties may include, but are not limited to 1) investigating biogeochemical processes occurring at or near the Earth's surface across the broad spectrum of interfaces ranging in scale from global to molecular; 2) the role of life in the transformation and evolution of Earth's biogeochemical cycles; 3) surficial biogeochemical systems and cycles, including their modification through climate change and human activities; 4) mineralogy and biogeochemistry of earth materials; 5) geomicrobiology and biomineralization processes and their applications in environmental remediation; and 6) environmental health related to air, soil, and water pollution.
