Greg Michalski studies the chemistry of nitrogen and its various compounds (like nitrate, ammonia, and nitrogen oxides) as they move through the atmosphere, forests, rivers, and groundwater. A major focus is using isotopes—natural variations in atoms of the same element—as tracers to figure out where these nitrogen compounds come from and how they change chemically over time. This work has applications for understanding air pollution sources, forest nitrogen cycling, and water quality.
