Will Tallon

Will Tallon is a Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar at University of East Anglia on the Critical Decade for Climate Change programme. He is based in the school of Biological Science. He will be researching carbon-monoxide oxidising bacteria in glacial retreat soils in Svalbard, as more and more soil is freshly exposed by global warming causing glaciers to melt. Carbon-monoxide release from this soil can promote the greenhouse effect.
