Research —
Dr. Johnson’s research program focuses on understanding the physiological processes that drive the “breathing” of the Earth’s biosphere: photosynthesis and respiration. Current work in the lab ranges from exploring how these processes work at a molecular level to monitoring their aggregate global activity.
