Research summary
AI-generated

Alexander B. Michaud studies the biogeochemistry and microbiology of cold environments, especially Antarctic subglacial lakes and Arctic tundra and fjord sediments. Much of the work examines how microbes cycle elements like iron, phosphorus, and carbon beneath ice sheets and in permafrost-affected soils, and how these processes relate to climate change and ice sheet history. Some recent projects also touch on carbon dioxide removal strategies (ocean iron fertilization) and methane reduction in agriculture.
