Biography

Anya Hopple is a biogeochemist broadly interested in the flow of carbon and nutrients through ecosystems, as well as their responses to ongoing environmental global change. Her recent research has focused on the controls of anaerobic decomposition and greenhouse gas dynamics in a variety of wetlands and identifying microbial community structure-ecosystem function relationships across ecosystem types. Currently, she’s studying the effects of extreme storm events on upland forest ecology and biogeochemistry along the Chesapeake Bay.
