Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are major contributors to overall morbidity and mortality in patients in the US. However, we lack a clear understanding of the major…

Control of methane and carbon dioxide emissions by sulfur biogeochemistry in terrestrial ecosystems

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Freshwater wetlands are responsible for 40% of the methane emissions worldwide. Despite very low amounts of ambient sulfate, these ecosystems often support high rates of sulfate reduction, rivaling…

MS imaging of cell wall N- and O-linked glycans in interaction between roots and soil-borne microbes

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Christopher Anderton

We propose to address a critical barrier in deciphering rhizosphere communication, specifically that of the role of glycans (a modifiable moiety of glycoproteins) in these processes. The first aim of…

Beam ionization: who gets the charge and why do some get broken up about it?

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Christopher Anderton

Beam ionization is the key method for directly probing samples for in situ chemical analysis. We aim to understand the mechanisms of small molecule desorption and ionization from different substrates…
