Advisory Board and Editors Biogeochemistry
Alexandre J Poulain
Alexandre Poulain received his PhD in Biology from Université de Montréal (Canada), his MSc in aquatic toxicology and biogeochemistry from the INRS-Eau, Terre et Environnement from Quebec City (Canada) and his BSc in Environmental Sciences from Université d’Angers (France). He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) where he learned about geobiology. His research investigates with how microbes control the mobility and toxicity of toxic metal(old)s in temperate and arctic environments.
James M. Roberts
Research Chemist in the Chemical Sciences Division of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory. Associate Editor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. Member of the American Geophysical Union, American Chemical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Dr. Roberts has a long-standing interest in the organic chemistry of the atmosphere. He has worked on a variety of issues such as; the transport and chemistry of volatile organic compounds, the chemistry of organic nitrates and their contribution to the transport of atmospheric odd-nitrogen, the involvement of biogenic hydrocarbons in ozone and particle formation in the troposphere, the activation of chlorine by odd-nitrogen, and the atmospheric chemistry of acidic species.
Seyed Mohammad Moein Sadeghi
Dr. Seyed Mohammad Moein Sadeghi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Ecohydrology Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Matthew J. Cohen. His research interests include precipitation partitioning (throughfall, stemflow, interception), reference evapotranspiration, and the impacts of silvicultural treatments and forestry management practices on hydrological and biogeochemical cycles at various scales (from stand to global scales). He has experience as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Transilvania University of Brasov (Romania) from 2021-2022 and Visiting Researcher at the TU Delft (Netherlands) from 2017-2018. Dr. Sadeghi received his Ph.D. (Forest Hydrology) from the University of Tehran (Iran) in 2018, where he modeled rainfall partitioning in typical plantation stands in a semiarid climate zone.
Hugo Sarmento
Professor in the Department of Hydrobiology of the Universidade Federal of São Carlos (UFSCar). Head of the Laboratory of Microbial Processes and Biodiversity, my research area is aquatic microbial ecology, with emphasis on biotic interactions, structure and function of planktonic communities in all compartments of the food web (viruses, bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton) mainly in tropical aquatic environments.
Timothy D Scheibe
Laboratory Fellow at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Lead Scientist at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a scientific user facility located at PNNL. Research interests emphasize coupled hydrologic and biogeochemical processes as they control water quality, ecosystem health, and contaminant transport and fate. Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to perform integrated computational and experimental research across a wide range of physical scales from molecules and cells to aquifers and watersheds. Was selected by the National Ground Water Association to serve as the 2010 Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecturer, in which role he presented 65 invited lectures across North America and Europe.
Tanvir Shahzad
Dr. Tanvir Shahzad is an Associate Professor at the Government College University, Faisalabad. He is an environmental scientist with a PhD in Agronomy, Ecology, Biogeochemistry from AgroParisTech.
Dr. Shahzad's research focuses on the intersections of soil biology, soil ecology, and use and assessment of nanomaterials for the benefit and sustainability of soils, more specifically, he is currently working on making Pakistan's soils sustainable.
Andrew A Shantz
I am a marine ecologist, utilizing principles from community and physiological ecology to understand the impacts of global change on marine ecosystems.
Jonathan O Sharp
Jonathan (Josh) Sharp is an Associate Professor of Environmental Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Sharp’s research focuses on the ramifications of biological processes as they relate to water quality with an approach that integrates facets of microbiology, engineering, biogeochemistry and hydrology to enhance our understanding of the natural and built environment. Professor Sharp obtained his PhD from UC Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering and conducted postdoctoral studies at EPFL, Switzerland before joining Mines.
Cindy J Smith
Professor of Environmental Microbiology, Infrastructure and Environment, University of Glasgow. Royal Academy of Engineering-Scottish Water Research Chair Fellow on Biofiltration by Biological Design 2018-2023. 2012-2017 Science Foundation Ireland Starting Investigator and Lecturer National University of Ireland, Galway. 2010-2011 University Fellow, National University of Ireland, Galway. 2003-2010 postdoctoral researcher and research co-investigator at the University of Essex and then the University of Sheffield (Molecular ecology of the nitrogen cycle in temperate and tropical estuaries). PhD in Environmental Microbiology and a BSc Environmental Biology, University College Dublin, Ireland.
Mark M Smits
Lector (lecturer) at HAS University of Applied Sciences in the fields of biology, soil science and data analysis. Previously worked as postdoc at Hasselt University, Lund University and University of Sheffield. PhD in soil science and geology at Wageningen University.
Joseph M Smoak
Joseph M. Smoak is a professor of biogeochemistry at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg. His research focus is on how coastal wetlands respond to climate change and sea-level rise. Specifically, his work examines carbon burial in coastal wetlands, and how burial might change and influence global climate.
Matt Sponheimer
Matt does research on the ecology of early hominins and associated fauna in Africa. He has also directed and co-directed several multidisciplinary projects on the ecology of living mammals, both large and small, in South Africa. He is the director of the Nutritional and Isotopic Ecology Lab (NIEL) at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
