clbarford@wisc.edu Dr. Carol Barford is an Assistant Scientist at SAGE. Dr. Barford joined SAGE in Spring of 2001. Barford’s work centers on forest carbon cycling, especially biometric measures of carbon sequestration, and forest-atmosphere exchanges of CO2. This work is conducted at two field sites (Petersham, MA, USA, and Thompson, Manitoba, Canada), in conjunction with scientists from Harvard University. Dr. Barford’s recent synthesis of biometric and atmospheric methods in forest carbon cycling appeared in the journal Science (23 November, 2001). Barford is also developing methods for simpler mathematical modeling of environmental systems, including “minimal models” for forest ecosystems, and for global ecosystem production. This work is based at SAGE. Dr. Barford is one of three SAGE scientists who are creating and teaching a new, Web-based course called “Ecology and a Changing Planet”. This course focuses on global environmental change, and the human activities that affect our planet. The course will be offered by University of Wisconsin-Madison starting in Spring, 2004. Barford is a native of central Illinois. She completed her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering at Harvard University in 1997, and a post-doc in Atmospheric Chemistry at Harvard in 2000. She lives in Madison with her husband, Paul, and their sons Henry and Will. |
