About Myself
David Kieber received his Ph.D. from the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in 1988.
Since 1990, after holding a postdoctoral position at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Dave has been a Professor of Chemistry at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
His research program is focused on the study of biological, geochemical and photochemical transformations of naturally occurring organic matter in atmospheric and aquatic environments, and the resultant effects of these transformations on the global biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorous, especially as they are affected by climate change. Dave’s current research projects include assessing the impact of organic matter photomineralization on the marine carbon cycle, elucidating the organic matter content and chemical evolution of marine-derived aerosols, and quantifying biological and photochemical transformations of organosulfur compounds in the ocean.
