Ward, pictured here with partner Geoffrey Vallis, has spent a considerable amount of time conducting research in Antarctica at Lake Bonney, an ice-covered body of water with two lobes whose bacteria ...

The molecular mechanism of anaerobic ammonium oxidation has been unraveled. The anaerobic oxidation of ammonia (anammox) is an important pathway in the nitrogen cycle that was only discovered in the ...

Nitrogen is an important component of the global environment, affecting agriculture, climate, human health, and ecosystems.

“My tattoo is taken from a 1950’s biology textbook. The reason it means so much to me is because of the relevence of the nitrogen cycle to the cycle of life. The horse dies, which feeds the plant, ...

A new study reports that anammox, a key process in the nitrogen cycle, is barely present in Narragansett Bay even though it's a major factor just a little farther out into Rhode Island Sound.

Alan Townsend and CoPI Eric Davidson (Woods Hole Res Ctr) have just learned that their NSF-RCN "Reactive Nitrogen in the Biosphere" has been funded ($499,791). The grant will focus on key unknowns in ...
