Carmen Enid Martinez is a Professor in the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University, specializing in soil environmental chemistry. Her research focuses on the molecular-scale processes that control the fate and cycling of elements in soils, with an aim to increase our scientific understanding of managed natural ecosystems. Key aspects of her research program include deciphering the mechanisms and rates of reactions that govern the cycling of nutrients and organic matter in soil. Her recent investigations emphasize the coupled cycles of iron, nitrogen, and organic matter, as well as solid-solution interface phenomena and biogeochemical strategies within the rhizosphere that influence plant nutrition and toxicity. Additionally, she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses that apply chemical principles to environmental processes, including Soil Chemistry.
