Blair, Neal
Professor, Joint Appointment in Civil & Environmental Engineering
My research focuses on the biogeochemical transformations of carbon with an emphasis on the sources and fates of organic carbon within the Earth’s Critical Zone. Current projects involve the characterization and tracking of organic matter as it moves across landscapes and is trapped in reservoirs. Biogenic methane production is also a specialty of our lab. The role of soil fungi in the sequestration of organic matter is being investigated.
