Gareth Trubl studies viruses that live in soil, focusing on how they interact with microbial communities and influence carbon and nutrient cycling in ecosystems like grasslands and tropical rainforests. His work combines soil ecology, virology, and microbiome data science, including methods like stable isotope probing (SIP) combined with viromics to track how viruses are produced and persist in soil over time. This research area is relevant to environmental science, microbial ecology, and even astrobiology (the study of possible life beyond Earth).
