Faculty Profile
Cole D. Gross
Assistant Professor
Department of Sustainable Resources Management
312 Bray Hall
My research focuses on soil health and carbon cycling in forests, grasslands, and agroecosystems (e.g., agroforestry systems) in response to human land-use and management decisions and climate change. I am passionate about furthering our understanding of soil carbon cycling and applying soil science to help manage our land resources sustainably, mitigate climate change, and promote food security and ecosystem services by enhancing soil health.
