The AOG unit at UW is composed of three labs. This is the web site for Rick Keil’s lab. You can also visit Anitra Ingalls’ web zone and Julian Sachs’ web site. The broadly defined goal of the Rick Keil’s AOG group is to understand the factors that control organic matter preservation in marine and freshwater systems. We are interested in mechanisms that control the extent to which bacteria degrade different forms of organic matter.
