Ziolkowski, Lori Anne
Associate Professor
My research focuses on the relationship between the composition and reactivity of organic matter in the earth system,as it relates to global biogeochemistry and climate change. Understanding the environmental dynamics of organic matter, both today and in the past, is essential for predicting future perturbations in the global carbon cycle. My current projects involve characterizing microbes in thawing Arctic permafrost and characterizing aromatic carbon, or combusted carbon, in the environment.
