Professor, Earth System Science and Civil & Environmental Engineering
Dr. Davis studies satisfying global demand for energy, food, and goods without adding CO2 to the atmosphere as a central challenge of the 21st century.
Dr. Goulden’s research focuses on the biological and physical controls of terrestrial nutrients, carbon, and energy cycling, with an emphasis on the response of natural ecosystems to environmental change.
Dr. Mackey studies the biogeochemical activity of phytoplankton over a range of scales, from the cellular level up to global geographical distributions of species and strains.
Dr. Sanders is interested in advancing knowledge and models of environmental dynamics in the context of (contentious) interactions between the built environment, the natural environment, and human activities.
Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth System Science
Dr. Vrugt studies the dynamics and behavior of natural and/or man-made systems to enhance process understanding and material characterization at different space and time scales and help illuminate tipping points and/or quantify change.
