Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
Will Berelson is a biogeochemist with interests in geobiology, oceanography and paleo-oceanography. Using an interdisciplinary approach, he studies chemical and microbiological processes in sea floor sediments, and has discovered novel microbial-geochemical interactions and helped to quantify global ocean fluxes. Known for his use of robots to explore deep-sea sediments, he investigates how biogeochemical reactions in the sediments and water column influence the local and global cycling of carbon and other elements. Also embedded in his research is the quest to link modern geochemical rates and processes to observations and interpretations of the rock record.
