Professor Amrita Bhattacharyya has received a one-million-dollar grant from the Department of Energy for her project entitled “Deciphering the Role of Anaerobic Microsites for Hot Spot/Hot Moment Dynamics of Metal Redox Chemistry and Methane Emissions within Riverine Floodplains.” With collaborators from USF (Amalia Kokkinaki), CSU East Bay, and SLAC, Dr. Bhattacharyya and her research students will investigate metal redox processes and methane emissions at terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.
