Gruber et al. on "Rapid progression of ocean acidification in the California CS", Science
Open Positions:
Research within the Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate group of Prof. Nicolas Gruber is aimed at elucidating the feedbacks between the global carbon cycle and the physical climate system. We are also interested in the biogeochemical cycles of other important elements of life, such as nitrogen, silicon, and oxygen, as they are tightly connected to that of carbon. The scales of our interest span the spatial range from regional to global, and extend in time from months to millennia. The ultimate goal is to better understand the interactions between the physical, chemical and biological processes that control the distributions of these climatically important elements and how they change through time.
Our research is organized around six themes; for more information please select a topic from below:
|
|
Global Biogeochemical Cycles Studying the elemental cycles of global importance, such as nitrogen, silicon, and iron, especially in regard to carbon and climate cycle feedbacks. |
|
|
Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems Understanding the functioning and variations of marine biogeochemical cycles and how these cycles are controlled by ecosystem processes. |
|
|
Coastal Biogeochemistry Determining the role of the coastal ocean in the global carbon cycle over the last century, at present, and in the near future. |
|
|
Inverse Biogeochemical Modeling Developing and applying new methods to combine measurements and models in order to improve our understanding of the functioning of biogeochemical cycles. |
|
|
Climate Variability and Change Studying the physical aspects of short-term (inter-annual to decadal) natural and man-made climate variability in the atmosphere and ocean as well as their manifestation in biogeochemical properties. |
|
|
Paleo-biogeochemistry Investigating how the carbon and the nitrogen cycles operated in the past, how they are coupled to each other and how they are linked to past climatic changes. |
