Soil Biogeochemistry Research Group

Welcome to the homepage for the Soil Biogeochemstry Research Group in the Department of Soil Science

at North Carolina State University. This research is an integral component of the Molecular Environmental Soil Science (MESS) program.


News

We are looking for applicants for the Dean's Diversity Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geomicrobiological Research in Environmental Remediation

We welcome Dr. Megan Andrews to the group.

See our new paper in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

See our new paper in Biometals.
