IsoCamp Alumni News & Updates

​I am glad to let you know that four of us co-authors met in SLC few years ago. It was so much fun working together, and of course we were very happy that such an interesting paper for the scientific community in the tropics emerged from our participation in the summer courses at the UU. - Giova Mosquera, IsoCamp 2013

IsoCamp Alumni

Dr. Michael Beman

Class of 2001
University of California, Merced

The Beman Lab studies marine biogeochemistry, especially nitrogen cycling. In a PNAS study of oceanic systems, Michael and colleagues demonstrated that microbial nitrification rates decreased in response to the decreases in ocean pH associated with ocean uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions.

Dr. Aaron Diefendorf

SIE Class of 2006
University of Cinncinnati

The Diefendorf Lab continues to make progress at the interdisciplinary intersections of plant ecology, geology, and climate. A recent publication shows that deeply buried paleosols have been found to be rich in carbon, adding a new dimension to our planet’s carbon cycle, and revealing the possibility that soil disruption could contribute to global climate change.

Dr. Kena Foxx-Dobbs

SIE Class of 2003
University of Puget Sound

Kena continues her interesting research on using stable isotopes to interpret dietary patterns in fossil and living animals--like wolves. Learn about Kena’s teaching interests and latest work at her Puget Sound website.

Dr. Ruth Ley

Class of 1996
Department of Microbiome Science, Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology

Ruth's awards include the NIH Director's New Innovator Award and a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. In 2015, she was named director of the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tubingen, Germany. The Ley Lab studies the microbiome of mammals and plants, its role in host health, and how the host can shape microbiome diversity.

Dr. Jim Randerson

Class of 1998
U.C. Irvine

Jim Randerson’s lab has emerged as one of the premier carbon cycle modeling groups working at regional to global scales. An important research goal is to quantify how the contemporary global carbon cycle is changing and to assess the implication of this change for stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases levels and climate.
In 2017, Jim was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
