Carrie Masiello, assistant professor of Earth science, will present “Biogeochemistry of Charcoal in the Environment: Carbon Cycle Roles and Carbon Sequence Options” at 4 p.m. March 19 as part of the Wiess School of Natural Sciences Dean’s Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in Howard Keck Hall, Room 102, with a reception afterward in Room 206.
