Tyler Volk

I am a professor emeritus in environmental studies and biology at New York University. My areas of interest include principles of form and function in systems (described as metapatterns), environmental challenges to global prosperity, CO2 and global change, biosphere theory and the role of life in earth dynamics. I work toward knowledge about life on a global scale; past, present, and future. My collaborative research has contributed to understanding the biosphere, with "biosphere" defined as the integrated system of atmosphere, ocean, soil, and life. My modeling of the global carbon cycle quantified biological versus physical-chemical impacts on the distribution of carbon and other elements in world's oceans.

I'm also a guitarist and one of the founding members of The Amydaloids. We have two albums: "Heavy Mental" & "Theory of My Mind."
