Agricultural and Life Sciences (IFAS)
Aquatic and Wetland Biogeochemistry Group
Led by Patrick Inglett · Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences
What we study
The lab studies how nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur move in freshwater and saltwater wetlands, lakes, rivers, and springs. They use field measurements, lab tests, and special tools like microscopes and isotopes to understand these processes.
