Libby determines rates of carbon utilization by microorganisms residing in the subsurface, especially within serpentinized fluids and serpentinizing rock-hosted microenvironments. Through this work, she seeks to describe how factors such as carbon and oxidant availability limit the extent of subsurface life.
