Research Interests
One area of interest is in relating the structure
of chemolithotrophs to their ecological niche,
and to their response to the environment;
something I call "structural ecology". Most
recently, this work has focused on methane-oxidizing
bacteria and involves studies of ecology,
ultrastructure, physiology and molecular biology.
A second area involves biogeochemical studies
in Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National
Park, and here we are focusing on the ecological
role and significance of chemosynthesis and
photosynthesis in sublacustrine hydrothermal
vents and gas fumaroles.
