The sustainability aspect of our research focuses on leveraging microbiology for sustainability. This includes exploring the microbial potential for bioremediation, understanding microbial products that can help in improving human lives, and identifying microbes that can help in climate change mitigation. We have received NSF funding to pursue research on the impact of extreme events on microbial dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. The research has significant implications for advancing scientific understanding of climate impacts on natural systems. It will contribute to developing improved water management strategies to protect public health and environmental sustainability. To learn more about this project, please visit our lab news page.
