Dr. James Fulton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Baylor University, part of the College of Arts & Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Geosciences and Biogeochemistry from Penn State University (2010). Prior to Baylor, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (2011–2013), focusing on algae-virus interactions and sedimentary processes. He established the Microbial Biogeochemistry Lab at Baylor in 2017–2018.
His research spans
- Biogeosciences
- Stable Isotope Geochemistry
- Organic Geochemistry
- Paleoclimatology
- Geoarcheology
Recent work includes studies on viral activity in anoxic lake analogs, pigment formation in microbial mats, and isotopic analyses of ancient animal resource use. His lab explores links between microbial ecology and Earth's biogeochemical cycles, with applications to climate change and environmental management.
Dr. Fulton's research is supported by grants focused on biogeochemical processes in arid and marine ecosystems. He collaborates with archaeologists on projects like the analysis of medieval glass and Etruscan burial practices, integrating geoscientific methods with historical and cultural studies.
