Ecosystem Ecology, Biogeochemistry, Global Change
The Templer Lab focuses on the effects of environmental change, including climate change, atmospheric deposition, and urbanization on biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen in natural and managed ecosystems. We explore how plant-microbial interactions influence carbon exchange, nitrogen retention, forest productivity, and water and air quality. We also pursue projects that integrate across environmental science and policy through a collaborative approach with governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
I welcome the participation of students in the lab and will accept graduate students for the fall 2025 semester. Prospective graduate students are encouraged to check out our Biogeoscience and URBAN Ph.D. programs. Please notify me if you are interested in working in the lab as a high school student, undergraduate, graduate student, postdoc, or visiting scientist.
