PhD in innovative stable isotope measurements of methane and its precursors

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and reducing its emissions is essential to meet Paris Agreement goals. Future emissions from ecosystems depend on their environmental response. Tracking methane cycling鈥攂alancing production vs. consumption and tracing carbon substrate sources鈥攔emains challenging. We will integrate methane clumped-isotope analysis with carbon and hydrogen isotope measurements of key organics, plus culture experiments, to uncover the biochemical pathways and environmental controls on methane formation and oxidation.
