Project description
The deep biosphere is teeming with life, but we know little about what drives its major microbial and geochemical processes. I use data from the former Centre for Geobiology along with newer data from the Jebsen Centre's annual cruises to quantify the couplings between microbial life and its geochemical surroundings in deep-sea sediments. I process the data using both statistical methods and bioinformatics approaches as well as through rate modelling.
