Welcome to the Abbott Lab of Ecosystem Ecology

We research how human activity affects the water and nutrient cycles that sustain all life on Earth. Our current projects investigate water chemistry in river networks undergoing permafrost degradation in Alaska, water stewardship in agricultural and urban landscapes around the world, and the ongoing renewable revolution.

We are always looking for creative and motivated students to help address these important environmental and societal issues. Click here to find out how to join the team.

Announcements:

1. We have launched a new initiative to restore Great Salt Lake called Grow the Flow. Will you join the movement?
2. With a team of 32 researchers and managers, we put together an emergency briefing on Great Salt Lake. We provide an overview of the lake's ongoing collapse and call for the establishment of a minimum flow requirement to restore the lake.
3. As a part of the Permafrost Carbon Network, we published a comprehensive overview of Permafrost and Climate Change in Annual Review of Environment and Resources.
