Myrna J. Simpson is an environmental chemist at the University of Toronto, specializing in Soil Biogeochemistry, Natural Organic Matter, and Environmental Metabolomics. Her research explores the molecular composition and dynamics of soil organic matter, including its microbial and plant-derived sources, and the factors influencing its stabilization and degradation. She investigates the role of environmental stressors, such as climate change and soil warming, on soil carbon dynamics and microbial communities. Her work also examines the chemical and mineralogical controls on organic matter interactions with soil minerals and the application of advanced analytical techniques like NMR spectroscopy and metabolomics to environmental research.
