Aho Biogeochemistry Lab
Ecosystems, biogeochemistry, global change
Overview
We are ecosystem ecologists interested in carbon and nitrogen cycling. We aim to understand inland waters as both 1) biogeochemically important ecosystems and 2) connectors of other ecosystem components (e.g., land, ocean, atmosphere). We are particularly interested in greenhouse gas production in and emissions from aquatic ecosystems. This research is relevant to aquatic ecology, carbon and nitrogen cycle models, and greenhouse gas budgets.
News
Jan 2024 - Kelly Aho gives invited talk at Biogeomon in Puerto Rico. Great session on Aquatic Carbon Cycling in the Anthropocene organized by Kevin Ryan and Kim Wickland!
Nov 2023 - Undergrad researcher, Sage Stockdale, has won the Warren W. and Annelids C. Wood Undergraduate Research Award AND has been spotlighted by MSU EES this month. Nice work, Sage!
Nov 2023 - New paper in GRL showing that inland waters don’t always emit nitrous oxide, but can sometimes also act as nitrous oxide sinks.
Aug 2023 - The Aho Lab is currently recruiting 1-2 PhD student(s) to start in Fall 2024. The student(s) will conduct research on greenhouse gas dynamics in streams, rivers, and lakes. Please see the Opportunities tab for more information.
Aug 2023 - The Aho Lab is recruiting undergraduate researchers to start this semester (Fall 2023).
