My B.S. (U. Notre Dame) and Ph. D. (Caltech) were in chemistry. I have a long scientific career, primarily at Los Alamos Nat. Labs and New Mexico State University, eventually moving to biology, particularly plant physiological ecology, with great attention to quantitative studies of plant resource use (light, water, CO2, nitrogen), using computer modelling, lab, and field experiments. My recent foci are biological extreme events, direct vegetation response to CO2, and crop water use.I have done energy technology assessment. I retired early in 2008 to start my own consulting consortium on global change. In this small start-up, I have worked on pollutant dispersion for BP and on optimzing deficit irrigation on major nut crops to survive irrigation shortfalls as ag water supplies are impacted by climate change and M&I diversions. I have experience in research in the US, France, Australia, Germany, and Mexico.
