A fabulous #postdoc opportunity to work with my colleague Nick Ward at PNNL on forest trace gas cycling, studying a poorly constrained component of the Earth system! Please share widely: careers.pnnl.gov/jobs/10985?l...

NEW PAPER 🚨 Curious how plant root exudation and soil texture might interact to form dynamic anoxic microsites in the #rhizosphere, and what they might mean for the fate of soil #carbon, nutrient or contaminent in #soils? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's new paper in SBB: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

Long‐Term Drought Persistently Shifts Plant and Soil Microbial Communities but Has Limited Impact on CO2 Fluxes Under Subsequent Drought We examined how long-term drought affects the response of plants and soil to a subsequent drought in heathlands. While soil microbes changed over time, it was shifts in plant communities that influen...

Happy to announce our new paper: Soil microbes prefer organic acids over sugars in simulated root exudation (doi.org/10.1016/j.so...). 1/6

Come hang out at #EGU2025 in Vienna, and let's nerd out about the rhizosphere, anoxic microsites, aggregate dynamics, and more!

Congratulations, Rose! (I am from UMaine, it’s great when different worlds collide!)

Effective, efficient, and fair peer reviewing 2023 Effective, efficient, and fair peer reviewing Ben Bond-Lamberty Based on a presentation at the AGU Early Career Scientist Workshop, 2019 1

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

#AGU24 happening right now! Come check out our poster and oral sessions today! “Where land meets water”

A person signs "spectroscopy"

“There are very few deaf geoscientists, but with better access to geoscience signs maybe we can see geosciences become more diverse.”

My latest for Eos explores how Deaf scientists create new ASL signs to make STEM more accessible to everyone.

Who's coming to #AGU24?

❄️ Curious how changing winters reshape ecosystems? Explore how warmer temps and shifting snow dynamics disrupt mutualisms, alter nutrient cycles, and transform ecosystems. From soil microbes to weather systems, we dive into winter's cascading climate impacts. See you in DC!

So excited to introduce LabSigns - our PNNL-led project where we compiled and developed new technical #ASL signs for the #geosciences!
