Master's Student
Schrenk Geomicrobiology Lab • Department of Geological Sciences • Michigan State University

Mary investigates the sulfur and iron geochemistry and microbial diversity within the serpentinite subsurface at the Coast Range Ophiolite Microbial Observatory in California (CROMO). She is currently creating enrichment cultures to better understand the constraints around the various Fe and S compounds that are being utilized by microbes in the system and using scanning electron microscopy to identify and analyze mineral-microbe interactions.
