Welcome to Hu's NBS lab at the University of Central Florida!

 We study the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and emerging organic contaminants in natural and managed soil and water systems. Leveraging the biogeochemical insights, we work to develop nature-based solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil health, and enhance water quality.

 Research focal areas:

• Soil carbon sequestration and stability in agricultural and wetland ecosystems

• Natural-based solution for mitigating and removing nutrients and emerging organic contaminants in water bodies

• Greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural and waste treatment systems

• Application of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles for precision monitoring in environmental systems
