Research Interests
Carbon balance of forest ecosystems; biological controls over the emission of reactive volatile organic compounds from plants and their influence on atmospheric chemistry
Current Projects
DOE- and NSF-funded research on the carbon fluxes of a subalpine forest ecosystem in Colorado; privately-funded research on isoprene emissions from agriforest ecosystems.
Honors and Awards
- Humboldt Fellowship (1990)
- Guggenheim Fellowship (1998)
