Allison Myers-Pigg contributes to the development and implementation of the disturbances research campaign as part of the Subsurface Research Science Focus Area project. Her role includes contributing to research activities, fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and study design, and she is a key contributor towards investigation of mechanisms and hydrobiogeochemical impacts of watershed disturbances

• Interactions between hydrology and biogeochemical cycling
• Contemporary organic geochemistry
• Environmental interface biogeochemistry, high-resolution and in-situ

• Research expertise in pyrogenic organic matter dynamics, biogeochemistry, and organic geochemistry 

• Knowledge of impacts of disturbances (e.g fire) on organic matter cycling, including organic matter origin, quality, and quantity in rivers 
• Leader in the field on utilization of pyrogenic-specific molecular markers (e.g. anhydrosugars) in the environment to investigate environmental processing of PyOM
