Biogeochemistry Section

About the Wetland Biogeochemistry Section

The Biogeochemistry Section was established in February 2008. The Wetland Biogeochemistry Symposium (WBS), first held at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge in 1991, developed stronger ties to SWS in 2007, and is now an official activity of the SWS Biogeochemistry Section. The 12th WBS will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2011.

Goals:
The Biogeochemistry Section's goals are to:
  1. Organize symposia on important developments in wetland biogeochemistry.
  2. Propose and fund initiatives that advance wetland biogeochemistry research and education.
  3. Encourage and support students engaged in wetland biogeochemistry research.
  4. Interact with other sections to enhance inter-disciplinary research.
