  • Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

    Creator:
    Graw, Michael F.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

  • Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

    Creator:
    Briggs, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...

  • Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

    Creator:
    Buser, Jessica Z.
    Abstract:
    Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...
