Join us for the Early Career Spring Seminar, current research across terrestrial biogeoscience. This session features three talks that examine how biological and geochemical processes shape carbon cycling across environments.

One talk explores how microbial communities living within trees influence methane production and consumption, reframing trees as integrated biological systems that actively mediate greenhouse gas fluxes. Another examines how microorganisms can enhance rock weathering through siderophore production, with implications for carbon storage and sustainable resource use. A third investigates how permafrost warming affects soil carbon pools, showing that even mineral-associated carbon—often considered stable—can be rapidly lost under changing moisture and temperature conditions.

Whether you are presenting or attending, this seminar offers an opportunity to engage with a range of terrestrial research topics and connect with peers across the biogeosciences.
