Simone Alin
Coastal Carbon Dynamics

PhD 2001 Geosciences, University of Arizona

Research Interests:
My research revolves around understanding the role that marine and freshwater ecosystems play in the global carbon cycle. I am particularly interested in how carbon cycle processes and carbon fluxes associated with aquatic ecosystems are affected by climate change and other anthropogenic influences. The major focus of my work is currently on observing CO2 dynamics in coastal ecosystems, although I have also worked on carbon cycling topics in large rivers and lakes, ranging from the tropics to high latitudes. Specific areas of interest include: linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, air-water gas exchange, organic carbon sequestration, isotopes as tracers of carbon sources, and metabolic balance of ecosystems.
