Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles
(CBC)
One of the central challenges of environmental research is understanding how the physical,
chemical, geological, and biological processes of Earth's natural systems are functionally
interrelated. The study of coupled biogeochemical cycles across wide spatial and temporal
scales enables the development of quantitative knowledge and integrative models for the
cycling of water, carbon and other bioactive elements. Engineers have an important
contribution to make in an interdisciplinary setting to develop the quantitative aspects
of these biogeochemical cycles (with other members of the interdisciplinary team), and to
formulate the mathematical models needed for system knowledge. While all proposals should
focus on complex interactions between organisms and elemental cycling, investigators are
also encouraged to make provision for the study of associated abiotic phenomena when
appropriate. Certainly, the utilization of material and energy balances, coupled with
thermodynamics are areas where engineers can provide distinct advantages to an
interdisciplinary research effort.
Deadlines for the "Biocomplexity in the Environment"
program are listed in the solicitation link at the top of the left column on this page.
