Biography

Elizabeth Trembath-Reichert’s research focuses on microbially mediated Earth-life interactions, with the goal of identifying key players in global biogeochemical cycles and determining their rates of activity in past and modern environments. She integrates a range of techniques, including geochemical, gene-based and statistical methods, and applies them across various scales, from molecules to oceanic basins. She’s an assistant professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration.
