Prof. James Bradley, Ph.D.

James Bradley is Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science at the School of Geography of the Queen Mary University of London.

Research in the Bradley lab aims to shed new light on the biological and biogeochemical processes underlying the cycling of nutrients and energy that shape the Earth, including past, present, and future life and climate. Their research encompasses marine, cryospheric, and terrestrial settings, including: glacial geomicrobiology, permafrost and soil biogeochemistry, bio-energetics, the deep subsurface, and the global carbon cycle. These diverse settings are linked by overarching themes of life in extreme environments, global biogeochemical cycles, climate, and anthropogenic change.

James Bradley is a Visiting Fellow at CAS in February 2022 upon invitation of Prof. Dr. William D. Orsi. On 1 February 2022, he will give a talk with Margaret Cramm on "Energy Limits and Life in the Subsurface Sediments and Permafrost".
