About

I am a professor in the Department of Earth and Environment. My research involves the impact of humans on the carbon cycle and the characteristics and drivers of the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere. I study Boston's carbon dioxide emissions to understand what is likely to happen around the globe.

BU Highlights
