The Randolph Bromery Fall 2018 seminar series

Description

University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's Sairah Malkin delivers a talk titled "Chesapeake Bay's electric bacteria."

Malkin's research aims to better quantify and predict rates and pathways of geochemical cycling in aquatic systems, integrating tools from aquatic geochemistry and microbial ecology. A main theme of her research is to better understand carbon and nutrient processing through benthic pathways in aquatic ecosystems, with a particular interest in sulfur oxidizing bacteria in aquatic sediments.
