The Environmental Microbiome Engineering Research Group

Welcome

The Environmental Microbiome Engineering Research Group (EMERG) is located at the University of Vermont in Burlington between Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains. Our work is dedicated to preserving our planet's limited resources by understanding natural processes performed by communities of microorganisms ("microbiomes") and harnessing these processes to reduce human impacts on the natural environment.
