For more information on my research and group, please see my main website: http://research-groups.usask.ca/mcbeth/

My scientific interests:

-redox transformations of metal(loids) in the environment
-relationships of microorganisms to these transformations
-iron-oxidizing and iron-reducing bacteria
-environmental microbiology and the cycling of iron, sulfur, toxic metals, and other elements in environments such as mine-impacted environments, uranium mine tailings, oil sands tailings, wastewater, hydrocarbon contaminated sites, constructed wetland treatment systems, salt marshes, and marine sediments
-using synchrotron methods to image and characterize the chemistry of materials such as microbial mats, contaminated sites, mine wastes, and archaeological materials
-microbiology of steel corrosion
-microbial ecology of microbial mats
