Caitlin Hicks Pries
Caitlin Hicks Pries is associate professor of biological sciences at Dartmouth. She is broadly interested in the terrestrial carbon cycle and how the carbon balance of ecosystems is determined by the interplay of soil and plant processes with climate. She has recently focused on deep soil organic carbon in temperate ecosystems and what processes determine its stability and how those stabilization processes are affected by climate change.
