URochester Earth and Environmental Science professor and researcher Dr. Thomas Weber has led multiple, intricate research undertakings on biogeochemical cycles in the world’s oceans. Throughout this ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles of ...

Life on Earth has long been understood to run on two main energy sources. One comes from sunlight, captured by photosynthesis. The other comes from chemical reactions, such as microbes feeding on ...

Global change driven by anthropogenic pressures has profoundly affected ocean biogeochemical cycles. Natural fluxes have been disrupted due to imbalances, often in excess, of key elements like carbon, ...

We all know Earth is special, but we may not fully appreciate how good we have it on this planet. Unlike its planetary neighbors, Earth has remained habitable for billions of years thanks to a ...
