Tim Lyons

Dr. Tim Lyons is a biogeochemist at the University of California, Riverside, known for his research on the geochemical processes affecting the environment, particularly in Arctic regions. His work has highlighted the impact of permafrost thawing on the chemistry of landscapes, notably the release of metals into waterways. He has drawn attention to the alarming changes occurring in rivers like those in the Brooks Range of Alaska, which are being affected by climate change, demonstrating that even remote areas are not immune to the effects of global warming.
