Principal Investigators Merritt R. Turetsky (mrt@msu.edu) Michigan State University   Merritt's research focuses on plant-soil interactions, and the ecology and biogeochemistry of wetlands and high latitude ecosystems. Click here for more information on Dr. Turetsky's research A. Dave McGuire (ffadm@uaf.edu) University of Alaska, Fairbanks Dave's primary research goal is understanding and predicting the changing role of high latitude ecosystems in the climate system. Click here for more information on Dr. McGuire's research Jennifer Harden (jharden@usgs.gov) US Geological Survey Jennifer is a pedologist working on carbon cycling and soil biogeochemistry. Click here for more information on Dr. Harden's research Debu Misra (ffdm1@uaf.edu) University of Alaska Fairbanks Debu is a geohydrologist interested in fluid flow, transport and remediation in porous media, and multiphase flow.

Project Collaborators Jay Jones (ffjbf@uaf.edu) University of Alaska Fairbanks Jay is an ecosystem ecologist interested in organic matter and nutrient dynamics in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the microbial ecology of streams. Click here for more information on Dr. Jones' research Mike Waddington (wadding@mcmaster.ca) McMaster University Mike is interested in the cumulative effects of climate and land-use on peatland hydrology and carbon cycling.

Postdoctoral Fellows   Dr. Evan Kane (kanee@msu.edu) Michigan State University   Dr. Ron Daanen (ffrd@uaf.edu) University of Alaska, Fairbanks Ron is interested broadly in quantifying environmental changes resulting from climate warming beyond the impacts of warming alone. As a hydrologist, Ron is interested in the role of vadose zone development on ecosystem functions. Dr. Mark Waldrop (mwaldrop@usgs.gov) U.S. Geological Survey Mark's research goals include understanding the composition and function of carbon cycling microbial groups in boreal soils, discovering how they are affected by disturbance and soil moisture regimes, and predicting the response of microbial communities to environmental change.

Research Technicians and Students Molly Conlin (conlinmo@msu.edu) Michigan State University   Molly is interested in how environmental and climatic changes, including enhanced ultraviolet radiation, will influence vegetation and carbon cycling processes in high latitude wetlands. Claire Treat (treatc@msu.edu) Michigan State University   Claire has a background in peatland methane fluxes and on our project works on all aspects of gas and soil climate monitoring.     Jason Garron (tfnjag4@uaf.edu) University of Alaska, Fairbanks

Project Alumni

	Neville Millar (millarn@msu.edu) was a postdoctoral fellow on the APEX project studying soil carbon and nitrogen cycling. He currently is a visiting scientist at the Kellog Biological Station at Michigan State University.
	Gordon Shetler (shetlerg@msu.edu) was an undergraduate research technician on the project. He currently is completing a Master's Degree in science journalism at Michigan State University.
	Lee Pruett was a USGS research technician on the project studying the use of carbon isotopes (13C and 14C) to partition autotrophic versus heterotrophic respiration. She currently is teaching science to high school students in California.
	Jon O'Donnell (ftjao1@uaf.edu) was a USGS research technician on the project studying DOC dynamics. He currently is completing a PhD at the University of Alaska Fairbanks studying permafrost controls on aspects of carbon cycling.
