Christian von Sperber is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at McGill University. He specializes in biogeochemistry, with a focus on nutrient cycling, soils, and stable isotopes. His current research examines the biogeochemical processes in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly the cycling of phosphorus and nitrogen. He emphasizes the importance of understanding soils along environmental gradients and utilizes stable isotopes as a tool to characterize trace biogeochemical processes within both controlled laboratory settings and environmental systems. His current projects explore the cycling of phosphorus and nitrogen in forest ecosystems and the effects of land-use changes on soil nutrient pools in biogeochemistry, specifically within riparian buffer zones. Prior to joining McGill, he held positions as a Senior Scientist at the University of Bonn and a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. He earned his PhD in Environmental Science from ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
