Ann Pearson

Ann Pearson is the Murray and Martha Ross Professor of Environmental Sciences at Harvard University and current chair of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS).[1] Her research in the area of organic geochemistry is focused on applications of analytical chemistry, isotope geochemistry, and molecular biology to biochemical oceanography and Earth history. The “how, when, and why” of microbial processes yield insight about environmental conditions on Earth today, in the past, and about potential human impacts on our future. Her recent work has focused on the global carbon and nitrogen cycles, paleo-temperatures, and paleo-CO2 records.
