Dr. Sairah Malkin
Institution : University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science
Department : Horn Point Laboratory (HPL)
Expertise : Biogeochemistry, Coastal/Estuarine Sampling and Monitoring, Dead Zones, Ecology, Environmental Microbiology, Marine Microbiology, Methane Cycling, Nutrient Cycling, Seagrass, Sediment
Chesapeake Management Areas : Vital Habitats, Water Quality
Research interests : My research aims to better quantify and predict rates and pathways of biogeochemical cycling in aquatic systems, integrating tools from aquatic geochemistry and microbial ecology. A main theme of my research is to better understand carbon and nutrient processing through benthic pathways in aquatic ecosystems, with a particular interest in sulfur oxidizing bacteria in aquatic sediments.
