Best things I saw at AGU2016 by KC
I had a great conference, I networked, had job interviews, presented my postdoctoral work, and met with collaborators and most importantly I was immersed in new science expanding my knowledge in Critical Zone processes. The best thing I saw at AGU was the session on...
Recapping my presentation @ AGU 2016
Last December I attended the AGU Fall Meeting. I presented preliminary data on correlated EGA thermograms and 13C NMR spectra, see https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/134661. This project is an active collaboration with Johnathan Sanderman at the...
Liz W.’s best of AGU 2016
The best thing that I saw at the AGU 2016 Fall Meeting was the Sagan Lecture by Nathalie Cabrol entitled, “The co-evolution of life and environment and the astrobiological quest.” Like many earth scientists, I often fantasize about applying my current research extreme...
Hi Penn!
Hi all! I am extremely excited to be the latest addition to Prof. Plante’s lab (and thrilled about the new Netzsch autosampler); we have been planning this collaboration since first meeting at AGU (American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting) in 2013. At that time, I was...
Increased thermal analysis capacity
A new grant (#1541588) from the Instrumentation and Facilities program in the NSF Division of Earth Sciences (NSF-EAR/IF) has allowed us to acquire new thermal analysis instrumentation for increased capacity of characterization of organic matter in soils and...
The Plante Lab at the 2016 AGU Fall Meeting
We are a busy hive of activity and it shows in our contributions to the 2016 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Here is the list of the oral and poster presentations of our lab group members: Tierra - Oral: B31L-06 Soil organic matter composition...
RPO Workshop 2016
Ramped pyrolysis/oxidation (RPO), known colloquially as “dirt burning”, involves ramped heating of sediment or soil samples to generate gases suitable for capture and radiocarbon analysis. RPO radiocarbon analysis has been used to discern 14C age spectra and carbon...
Just published: Energetic and chemical signatures of persistent soil organic matter
Happy to announce the publication of: Barré, P., Plante, A.F., Cécillon, L. et al. (2016) The energetic and chemical signatures of persistent soil organic matter. Biogeochemistry (2016). doi:10.1007/s10533-016-0246-0. How does soil organic matter change during...
Just published: Tree taxa and pyrolysis temperature interact to control the efficacy of pyrogenic organic matter formation
Happy to announce the publication of: Hatton, P., Chatterjee, S., Filley, T.R. et al. (2016) Tree taxa and pyrolysis temperature interact to control the efficacy of pyrogenic organic matter formation Biogeochemistry doi:10.1007/s10533-016-0245-1. In a collaborative...
Year of triangulation, pt3: Data, Code, Results
Here is the third and last installment on my themed set of posts. In part 1, I reported on how my sabbatical visit to New Zealand grew into a three-way collaboration between labs in New Zealand, the US and Canada. In part 2, I described a conceptual framework that the...
