The strong human-induced perturbations of the global biogeochemical cycles and their interaction with the Earth's climate system provide for a rich set of phenomena, whose study is both scientifically challenging and societally relevant. We address these challenges through a wide palette of methods and approaches, but always working close at the interface between models and observations and with a strong focus on the development of conceptual frameworks. The scales of our interest span the spatial range from regional to global, and extend in time from months to millennia. Our ultimate aim is to develop a coherent understanding of the interactions between the Earth's biogeochemical cycles and the climate system so that we may better understand the past and improve our predicton pf future changes in the environment. Our research is organized around five themes; for more information please select a topic from the list above.
