Duncan Menge Associate Professor Research and teaching interests: Ecosystem ecology, theoretical ecology, biogeochemistry, evolutionary ecology, global change science, plain old ecology. Contact: dm2972[at]columbia[dot]edu, (212) 854-6889, @DuncanMenge |
 | Palani Akana Ph.D. student pra2116[at]columbia[dot]edu Research interests: I study how nutrient dynamics within ecosystems transform, and are transformed by, the biotic structure and functioning of ecosystems. I am particularly interested in connecting ecological processes at different spatial scales, for example how the physiological processes of nutrient acquisition and use by individual plants relate to ecosystem-scale measures of productivity, diversity, and community composition.

 | Savannah Cooley Ph.D. student sc4751[at]columbia[dot]edu Research interests: My research stems from my personal and professional mission of playing a role in mitigating climate change. In particular, I focus on characterizing the impact of land use practices on carbon, nitrogen, and water fluxes Currently I am a Co-Investigator for a NASA-SERVIR project in the Amazonia region. I investigate how canopy structure and aboveground carbon in primary and secondary forests as well as in agroforestry cocoa systems relate to biogeochemical cycling in the Peruvian Amazon. CV |
