Ph.D., 2008 Department of Earth System Science University of California at Irvine My scientific interests are focused on biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling. I utilize field observations and experimental results to develop and evaluate ecophysiological models. I then use models to predict how carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles will be affected by global change and agriculture. Ultimately, I plan to apply knowledge of these interactions to the development and management of efficient and sustainable ecosystems. |
