NRESS PHD PROGRAM DISSERTATION DEFENSE

PRESENTER: EMILY KYKER-SNOWMAN

TITLE: BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC CONTROLS DRIVE SOIL CARBON AND NITROGEN CYCLING IN MICROBIAL-EXPLICIT SOIL BIOGEOCHEMISTRY MODELS

Emily is advised by UNH Professor Stuart Grandy.

Via Zoom https://unh.zoom.us/j/95134036872

More about Emily’s research:
Ecological processes drive terrestrial biogeochemistry, yet the incorporation of ecology into the Earth system models we use to understand and project global change remains slow and limited. 

My dissertation focuses on expediting the incorporation of ecology into Earth system models, first by laying out a roadmap from initial ecological insights to eventual ESM incorporation, and then by demonstrating this roadmap using the example of microbially-controlled carbon and nitrogen cycling in soil.
