Welcome to the Microbial Geochemistry Lab at UVM Geology
This facility is partly
supported by VT EPSCoR as a core environmental microbiology research
facility: Faculty, staff, and students are welcome to be trained and
utilize this equipment for their own research - please contact Greg if
interested!
We utilize a number of instruments and
techniques to characterize both the geochemistry and microbial
community in a range of aqueous environments:
