Osborne Lab
Led by Todd Osborne · Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences
What we study
The lab studies how nutrients like phosphorus, sulfur, and carbon move through wetlands and coastal ecosystems, focusing on Everglades restoration and soil processes. They use fieldwork and lab analysis to understand ecosystem health.
