About
Lars N. Bakken is a leading figure in environmental microbiology and biogeochemistry, with a focus on the soil nitrogen cycle and greenhouse gas emissions. His research has advanced the understanding of nitrous oxide (N2O) production and consumption in soils, particularly through the development of innovative measurement techniques. Bakken is perhaps best known for pioneering autonomous laser-based N2O flux measurements, as demonstrated in his 2014 paper on a field robot for this purpose—a work that has garnered over 40 citations and set a new standard for high-resolution, in-situ monitoring of soil emissions. His contributions have been instrumental in unraveling the microbial mechanisms behind N2O dynamics, linking soil processes to climate change mitigation strategies. With a career spanning decades, Bakken’s work has been widely cited, reflecting its profound impact on both fundamental science and applied environmental policy. His achievements include collaborations that bridge field robotics and molecular biology, making him a key figure in sustainable agriculture and greenhouse gas research.
