Biogeochemistry and Environmental ScienceWelcome to the Lutz Laboratory at Kent State University. We study how energy and elements move within and between ecosystems, and how human activities alter these processes.
Our research encompasses four broad topics: (1) Environmental Impacts of Energy Extraction Practices (Mountaintop Mining, Hydrualic Fracturing) (2) Watershed biogeochemistry (3) Effects of climate change on ecosystem water and element cycles (4) Interactions between element cycles See the Research and Publications pages for more information. |
NEWSRecent op-ed in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette on Hydraulic fracturing.
Lutz recently on NPR talking about hydraulic fracturing and mountaintop removal coal mining. Listen here. |
