Avni Malhotra

Avni Malhotra is an Earth Scientist focused on how nutrients flow through ecosystems, and how this influences plants and soils. She specializes in carbon-rich ecosystems such as peatlands and wetlands, which are globally significant but vulnerable sinks of carbon. Her research employs a multi-scale approach where investigations of fine-scale processes in the lab and field are placed in a broader context using global data syntheses; with the ultimate goal of a transferable understanding of ecosystems.
