Catalyzing innovative solutions through transformative biological research
Mission
We pioneer innovative solutions for climate change mitigation through collaborative scientific research and discovery using biological systems in soil and agriculture.
What We Do
We aim to develop scalable, high-quality, and cost-effective climate solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Our approach prioritizes sustainability and ecological health. We achieve this through:
-
Understanding the vast diversity of soil organisms and the biogeochemical transformations they’re responsible for.
-
Carbon Terminology Database
Leveraging knowledge of plant biogeochemical transformations to develop strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon, enhance soil and crop productivity, and advance the sustainability of agricultural systems.
-
Build collaborations across various scientific and professional fields to combine expertise, drive innovation, and tackle complex challenges more effectively.
-
Provide students mentorship, opportunities, and guidance, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to effectively address climate change.
-
Translate our innovative ideas into practical, scalable solutions across diverse communities to rapidly reduce emissions and remove atmospheric CO2.
