Molly Huber is a lab manager for the Peat and Sediment Processing Lab and a member of the Wetland Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry Lab (WEEBL) at Florence Bascom Geoscience Center
Molly studies terrestrial biogeochemistry and soil science in wetland environments and splits her time between two FBGC labs. In her work with WEEBL, she studies modern wetlands and streams to evaluate biogeochemical response to management and climate change. With the Paleowetland group, she studies proxies in wetland and peatland cores to help reconstruct paleoclimate. Her graduate research examined the role of wetlands in an alpine landscape in the context of global change.
Science and Products
Wetlands in the Quaternary
Wetlands accumulate organic-rich sediment or peat stratigraphically, making them great archives of past environmental change. Wetlands also act as hydrologic buffers on the landscape and are important to global biogeochemical cycling. This project uses wetland archives from a range of environments to better understand how vegetation, hydrology, and hydroclimate has changed on decadal to multi...
