Danica Lombardozzi, PhD

Assistant Professor

My research focuses on how terrestrial ecosystems are changing in response to human activities and the impact that these changes have on climate. I use a combination of field and laboratory techniques, ecological models, and data synthesis to address these questions across spatial scales and through time. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability at Colorado State University and a Project Scientist III in the Climate and Global Dynamics Lab at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Marian Hsieh

PhD Candidate

Marian’s research interests broadly include land-atmosphere interactions and human health. Her dissertation work focuses on impacts of agricultural land-use management on climate and extreme heat exposures. She received a BS in Environmental Science from the University of Washington, focusing in plant ecophysiology. Before joining the lab, she worked in crop-microbe applications and public health in Seattle.
