She received her PhD from Cornell University and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California in Berkeley. She has published over 135 papers on a wide range of topics, including the effects of climate and air quality on biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen, carbon, and water in forest ecosystems. She is particularly interested in the feedbacks between climate change, air pollution, and urbanization on the functioning and health of New England forest ecosystems and how these in turn affect human health. She and members of her lab pursue projects that integrate across environmental science and policy through a collaborative approach with governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. She is Director of the Boston University URBAN Graduate Program and a Fellow and incoming President of the Ecological Society of America.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"-Tf-236\" aria-label=\"5.
