Research projects
A sample of the variety of research projects IceLab members are involved in.
Not all research under way in IceLab has an associated project page, but here are a few to give you an idea of what is happening.
Research projects
ARIMETH: A mechanistic Understanding of Arctic River Methane Emissions
Understanding river methane emissions from northern ecosystems using field data, experiments, and models.
When microbial ecology and mathematics collide to decipher the structure of microbial community living in oxygen-depleted environments.
Studies microbial communities using empirical data and math, focusing on oxygen-poor extremes to build theory.
Unobvious relations from the world’s largest eDNA dataset
This project uses mathematical methods to determine patterns in seemingly chaotic data from used air filters.
Epigenetic clocks: modeling of biomarkers to measure and predict biological aging
We aim to develop a model to better understand DNA methylation and make the epigenetic clock more useful.
The evolutionary origins of developmental programs
Why do some multicellular forms evolve complexity while others remain simple and undifferentiated?
Greening of the Arctic: gradual or abrupt?
This project uses drones, satellite data, and modeling to study Arctic vegetation changes and carbon dynamics.
Biodiversity-ecosystem functional relationships in evolved spatially structured societies
This project explores how biodiversity impacts ecosystem functions through evolution in varied landscapes.
