Biogeochemistry is the study of how chemical elements flow through living systems and their physical environments. It investigates the factors that influence cycles of key elements such as carbon, ...

Climate and ocean models use a series of equations to represent complex natural processes. However, the equations used in these models are often derived from limited observations and a series of ...

As the world tries to mitigate agriculture's effect on the environment, much of the story can be found in soil, which stores and cycles nutrient elements of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

The following faculty are involved with Biogeochemistry or Geochemistry Research. Their research involves the study of the processes and reactions that govern the composition of the environment both ...

For 65 years, Cornell CALS has been a leader in biogeochemistry, an interdisciplinary field that studies elemental cycles through Earth’s air, land and water, and is critical to understanding climate ...

The oceans are experiencing unprecedented rates of change associated with climate change and human activities. Amongst the many marginal seas of the global ocean, the East Asian marginal seas, ...

Studies of contaminant biogeochemistry and microbial processes in wetland environments.

Faculty members in the Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Science have strong research interests and expertise in biotic and abiotic controls on element cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.
