Curriculum Vitae

Research

Dr. Jason Keller is an ecologist broadly interested in the flow of carbon and nutrients through ecosystems.  Much of his work explores how ecosystems will respond to ongoing global change.  His current research focuses on the controls of anaerobic decomposition and greenhouse gas dynamics in a variety of wetlands, ranging from northern peatlands to tidal marshes.
