Raina Fitzpatrick

Raina’s focus lies at the intersection of ecology in chemistry. She is interested in how microbes mediate elemental cycling and what drives these processes. She hopes to learn how microbes transform a suite of nutrients and other substrates and what this means for...
Callie Ochs

Callie Ochs

Callie is interested in looking at how fungal foliar endophytes mediate leaf litter decomposition in aquatic and terrestrial environments. She is more generally interested in the microbial ecology of leaf-litter decomposition in streams. She will be using qSIP to...
Lauren Kemper

Lauren Kemper

Lauren is interested in how changing disturbance regimes in boreal forests are affecting stand dynamics and carbon cycling. Her research focuses on how increasing fire frequency and severity affects post-fire regeneration and forest resilience in Interior...
Keanan Allen

Keanan Allen

Keanan is interested in soil carbon cycling and ecosystem modeling within changing environments. He is working on how microbial functions change under rising temperatures and how they impact soil carbon dynamics. This research aims to broaden our understanding of...
Yuan Gao

Yuan Gao

Yuan focuses on ecosystem modeling, especially at semiarid sites. By applying MCMC method in the ecosystem model, he is working on better quantifying carbon dynamics of the semiarid sites. Full Curriculum Vitae
