My research program uses marine and freshwater ecosystems to understand the influence of global change on ecological communities and biogeochemical cycles. As both a community ecologist and ecosystem ecologist, I study how interactions among microbes, plants, and animals influence ecosystem properties and processes.

Dr. Mallory Barnes is a researcher in biogeosciences who specializes in remote sensing and informatics to investigate ecosystem-climate interactions. Her research has yielded significant findings on carbon and water cycling in arid regions, as well as the impacts of land use and climate change on water availability and carbon cycling. Dr. Barnes conducts interdisciplinary research that employs advanced technology and methods in remote sensing and informatics to investigate the complex relationships between terrestrial ecosystems and climate. Her commitment to practical solutions for addressing climate change includes exploring nature-based strategies, such as reforestation, which is aligned with her work in understanding ecosystem-climate interactions. Her work has the potential to inform effective climate change mitigation and adaptation policies.

I run the Coastal Carbon Laboratory (CCL) in the Institute for Coastal Plain Science at Georgia Southern University. Research in the CCL focuses on the carbon cycle in coastal ecosystems such as estuaries, marshes, coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds. We are interested in the role that these ecosystems play in the global carbon cycle, how they will be affected by climate change, and what role they can play in carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. Learn more about the CCL: www.coastalcarbon.org

As a paleoclimatologist, interested in reconstructions of past climates, I conduct research at the interface of geology, chemistry and biology. The main aim of my research is to improve the methods we have for reconstructing climate in the geologic past in high detail. Examples of such high-resolution climate reconstructions include reconstructions of seasonality and decadal variability in climate over long timescales (in "deep time"). Fossil bioarchives such as mollusk shells record changes in the environment in which the animal grew at this fine detail, and therefore form ideal archives for these reconstructions. In my research, I combine detailed analyses of microstructures and chemistry in these fossils as well as in modern organisms to learn more about how the chemistry of these bioarchives records environmental conditions, and how we can use these fossils for accurate reconstructions of high-resolution paleoclimate. In addition, I also strife to improve analytical methods that enable us to measure chemical variability in bioarchives with high precision and accuracy. These methods include stable and clumped isotope analysis, laser ablation ICP-MS and micro X-Ray Fluorescence.

I am research director at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Ostend, Belgium. While being interested in many aspects of the ocean in the Earth system, my own research focus is set on ocean biogeochemistry and the marine carbon cycle. My expertise ranges from CO2 measurements through big data modelling using artificial neural networks. I am particularly interested in natural and man-made changes in the air-sea CO2 exchange on climate relevant temporal and from local to global spatial scales

My research is driven by my interest in the role of microorganisms in Earth’s carbon cycle. I pursue research questions of broad significance concerning the mechanistic (how?) and quantitative (how much?) influence of microorganisms on the short- and long-term fate of organic carbon in aquatic sediments and the Earth’s crust. This includes the effects of anthropogenic activity on short- and long-term carbon-cycling processes.

I am a biogeochemist. Through my research, I try to increase understanding of how plants and soil respond to and influence environmental change. I have studied carbon and nutrient cycles in a wide range of ecosystems, including grasslands, cropland, temperate forests and rice paddies. I often use meta-analytic techniques to synthesize findings in my field of research. I also study the role of soil microbes in carbon and nitrogen cycles, using techniques such as incubation experiments, isotopic tracers and analyses of biomarkers.
