ABOUT THE LAB

The Bradley Lab
Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography
Marseille, France

The Bradley lab focusses on understanding the interactions between microorganisms and their geochemical and physical environment, over timescales from days to millions of years. We study some of the most remote and extreme environments ranging from Antarctica to the deep ocean, integrating modelling and theory development with measurements and experimentation to understand global change and biogeochemical cycles.  A particular focus currently is on glaciers and permafrost in the polar regions, and in particular, how seasonal changes and microbial dormancy regulate ecological and biogeochemical processes in these environments. 

In this lab, we judge on science and integrity, not by sex, gender, or race. Earth and environmental science, like other scientific disciplines, is and has been dominated by white faces and voices. Scientists from marginalized and under-represented groups are frequently subjected to bias while working at field sites, at meetings, in labs and classrooms, and in life. This must stop. Integrating a diverse set of experiences is critical for a comprehensive understanding of science.  Discrimination and injustice, racially or otherwise, is not welcome and will not be tolerated in this space.
