Laing, Christopher - University of Exeter - Disciplines of Biosciences

研究领域

My work focuses on environmental biogeochemical cycling staged in the context of climate change. In particular I am interested in the links between nutrient cycling in river systems, marine environments and terrestrial ecosystems. A consistent theme of my research to date has been the cycling of carbon in organic material and its subsequent release, storage and transport. This work has a strong analytical component supported by field and laboratory studies with modeling components. I am particularly interested in the effect of increased temperature on decompositional processes and how this impacts future carbon cycling. A developing theme of my work aims to better describe the hydrology of rfit valley lakes and water use in Kenya.
