RESEARCH COLLABORATORS

Picture
David Tissue, PhD
Professor
Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment

University of Western Sydney, Australia


David focuses on plant response to changes in global climate. Specifically the interactive effects of elevated CO2 with other factors such as nutrients, temperature and water, on leaf-level physiology and plant growth.

John Zak, PhD
Professor
& Associate Dean for Research in the College of Arts & Sciences
Texas Tech University


 John focuses on the diversity and structure of soil bacterial and fungal communities and their respective          roles in regulating the functioning of arid ecosystems (natural and managed).

Bruce Hungate, PhD
Regents Professor
& Director of the Center for Ecosystem Science & Society
Northern Arizona University


Bruce has broad interests, which not only includes how climate change affects biogeochemical cycles, but also microbial ecology and their microbial function across scales: from humans to the globe.

Erland Bååth, PhD
Professor
Lund University


Erland has broad interests in environmental microbiology. Specifically, he studies how biotic and abiotic (e.g. temperature, pH) factors influence soil microbial biomass, growth and community composition.

Hugh Ducklow, PhD
Professor
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University


Hugh's interests are marine and global biogeochemistry. As lead-PI of the Palmer Station Long-term Ecological Research site, he aims to understand the role of heterotrophic bacterioplankton on the carbon cycle along the western Antarctic Peninsula and how plankton may be impacted by climate change.

Theresa McHugh, PhD
NSF Postdoctoral Fellow
Canyonlands Research Station, United States Geological Survey


Theresa focuses on how changes in the environment (particularly in moisture conditions), affect soil microbes and their activity. She focuses also on determining drivers of soil microbial community composition, particularly in arid systems.
