<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Microbes are the drivers of planetary biogeochemistry. They produce half the oxygen on the planet, and fix half the carbon. They introduce bioavailable forms of nitrogen into the biosphere. If human life ceased
to exist, the central biogeochemical cycles would continue turning. However, the Anthropocene (era of human impact) has seen significant changes to planetary stocks and fluxes of C, N, S, etc. Many of these changes involve or impact microbes, and have significant
impacts on biogeochemical cycles. To understand microbial biogeochemistry in today's world, one must include the context of global change. And, conversely, one cannot understand the trajectory of global change without understanding microbial feedbacks via
biogeochemical cycles. In this interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate class we will cover major microbial biogeochemical cycles, and how these cycles are impacted by, and feedback to, global change. To do this, we will also discuss current research methods
ranging from molecular meta-omics to the use of isotopes as biogeochemical tracers. Lectures will be mixed with journal club-style readings and discussions, providing an engaging and interactive learning environment. For questions contact

</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Current understanding of environmental microbiology and microbial ecology is rapidly increasing, and staying on top of the latest paradigm-shifting scientific discoveries is critical to early career success.
Also essential to success is the ability to lucidly present and discuss scientific ideas. In this seminar we will select and discuss recent journal articles that present critical new discoveries or theories in these fields, or which describe important model
ecosystems or organisms for understanding broader environmental microbial ecosystems. We will choose the semester’s topic(s) based on the interest of the group. As an interactive journal club-style seminar, this is a great chance to discuss science deeply
with your peers while expanding your scientific knowledge. Graduate students from diverse backgrounds are welcome, and postdoctoral researchers and advanced undergraduates are welcome with instructor permission. For questions contact
