Dr. Arnosti’s lab studies the relationships between the structure of marine organic matter and the rates and mechanisms by which it is degraded by microbial communities: in short, “we study how things rot”: in the water column, in marine sediments, in environments ranging from coastal North Carolina to the Arctic Ocean. These processes are a critical piece of the marine carbon cycle.

Dr. Cable is a marine geochemist. Her research group broadly studies processes and systems in the environment, particularly marine and ground water, using (bio)geochemical tracers.
She is an avid fan of history, particularly medieval history. She likes to hike to clear her head and has walked the Camino de Santiago (500 miles) when there were many thoughts to clear.
Emily Eidam
Department of Marine Sciences
Assistant Professor
Dr. Eidam is an oceanographer who specializes in studying the rates at which sand and mud are delivered to the ocean by rivers, and how quickly that sediment accumulates in estuaries and on the continental shelf. She is originally from Alaska, and recently her work has focused on understanding coastal changes in polar environments as well as coastal and fluvial sediment transport and deposition.
