Karen Adair
Karen is a graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences
at NAU. Her research focuses on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea,
in particular their niches and roles in soil nitrogen cycling. DNA
methods and stable isotope probing are utilized. |
|
Cammie Crowder
Cammie
is currently a research assistant in the Schwartz lab. Her research
focuses on stable isotope analysis to determine the presence and
processes of microbes in soil samples. She is a recent graduate of
The Evergreen State College and hopes to enter into the Masters of
Science program at NAU in the spring. |

Berai Evans
Berai is a microbiology major and plans to graduate in May '08. She
is currently working on a project with Karen Adair, involving ammonium
oxidizing bacteria and archaea. |

Andrew Schwartz
Andrew Schwartz is a Pre-Medical Student Graduating in 2008 with
a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Currently he is working
with Eukaryotic genomics focusing on mRNA extractions from different
species of Algae. Future plans include Medical School, Research,
Public Health and a growing interest in Environmental Research. At
this time there is no known relation between Egbert Schwartz and
Andrew Schwartz. |

Zachary Walker
Zach is a undergraduate student majoring in environmental science
and microbiology. He is currently conducting a research project in
the Schwartz Lab. His project focuses on grazing impacts on soils
north of the San Francisco Peaks. |

 Amy Welty-Bernard
Amy Welty-Bernard is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department
of Biological Science. She is currently performing basic research
toward isolation and characterization of aluminum-resistant microbial
communities from temperate forest ecosystems in Arizona using traditional
culturing methods and molecular techniques. In addition, she is
participating in decomposition experiments with researchers from
the University of Arizona to assess the role of aluminum on organo-mineral
complexation and microbial biodegradation of labile carbon. She
is currently developing experiments to understand the mechanisms
and genes conferring tolerance to acid soil stress and aluminum
toxicity. |
