Science & Engineering Innovation & Research (SEIR) Building 298
The College of Science welcomes Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, Ph.D., professor of biogeochemistry and Felasco Chair in Earth Sciences and Geology at the University of California, Merced. Her talk will be titled "From Roots to Reach: One Scientist's Quest to Understand Soils, Confront Climate Change, and Open Doors in STEM." Dr. Berhe was director of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science from May 2022 to March 2024, and was the first person of color to lead the office. Her research is broadly focused on soil science and global change science. Her research themes include the effect of climate changes (specifically rainfall and temperature) on storage and stabilization of soil organic matter; nano-scale biogeochemistry of iron oxides; erosion and terrestrial carbon sequestration; and political ecology of land degradation and ownership. A reception will be held preceding the talk at 3:30 p.m.
