Corey Lawrence Headshot

Detailed Description

Corey Lawrence is a Research Geologist with the US Geological Survey at the Geosciences Environmental Change Science Center in Denver, CO. Corey earned a PhD in Geological Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder, where he studied the impacts of aeolian deposition on soil development and biogeochemistry in the Rocky Mountains. Corey’s current research is focused on quantification of key mechanisms and regional-scale controls on terrestrial biogeochemistry, with an emphasis on carbon cycle dynamics. In support of this work, he uses a range of approaches including field and laboratory observations and experimentation, process-based modeling, and geospatial analyses. Corey also has expertise in data synthesis and sample archiving. He is a codeveloper of the International Soil Radiocarbon Database (soilradiocarbon.org) and the US Geological Survey Soil Sample Archive.
