Susan E. Crow, Ph.D.
For over 20 years, with incredible students, technicians, colleagues and collaborators around the world, I’ve studied carbon dynamics and sequestration, greenhouse gas flux, soil health, nutrient and water management in natural and managed (forested or agriculture) ecosystems and how these relate to global change pressures – such as land-use, climate change, and invasive species – sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy production. Together, we pursue mechanistic understanding of ecosystem processes to tackle tough questions relevant to current environmental issues and meeting the needs of community members and stakeholders. At the system-level, our work advances the tools available for assessing the carbon/climate tradeoffs of agricultural production, renewable fuel, and food systems and integrates across disciplines of economics, engineering, and agroecology to build resilience into our society against uncertainty in the climate system, energy, and water accessibility.
Prospective Students, Post-doctoral Fellows, and Visiting Scholars
Lab members of any race, national origin, gender identification, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability status are welcome the Crow Lab is committed to providing equal opportunity to all students and scholars. I am not currently taking new research group members, but I look forward to meeting and interacting at conferences, seminars, or elsewhere soon.
