Dr. Ellery Ingall

Biography

Ellery Ingall is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on geochemistry in natural waters and sediments, particularly the cycling of nutrients and aerosol chemistry. Ingall has conducted extensive fieldwork in Antarctica examining unique phosphorus cycling processes, as well as collecting samples of dissolved and particulate materials from polar and tropical regions. His lab has made significant discoveries, including the presence of phosphonates in oceanic dissolved organic phosphorus and the role of marine polyphosphates in geologic phosphorus sequestration. Ingall’s work utilizes advanced synchrotron-based techniques to characterize elemental associations and mineralogy in urban and rural aerosol sources, contributing to a better understanding of carbon dioxide absorption and nutrient cycling in marine contexts.
