Ai Ning Loh

Dr. Loh is an isotope and organic geochemist. Her research addresses questions related to the sources, cycling, and transport of carbon and nutrients in aquatic (marine, estuarine, and riverine) environments. She looks at the effects of extreme events (hurricanes, storms, droughts) and anthropogenic inputs on the biogeochemistry of dissolved and particulate organic matter. She is co-located at the UNCW Center for Marine Science (CMS) and DeLoach Hall on the main campus. She serves on the Honors College Advisory Council.
