Ecosystem Sciences

Allen Goldstein

Professor

Goldstein Group research themes include atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry. We investigate anthropogenic and natural contributions to the chemical composition of the troposphere, interactions of air pollution with ecosystems, aerosol composition and chemistry, and the biogeochemistry of greenhouse gases and stratospheric ozone depleting gases. A unifying theme in our research is to understand the balance between natural and anthropogenic sources of trace gases and aerosols in earth's atmosphere, and to elucidate the biogeochemical processes which control...

Paul Mayencourt

Assistant Specialist in Cooperative Extension in Engineered Wood Products and Design

Dr. Paul Mayencourt is a researcher and educator in low-carbon design solutions for the built environment. His research merges the field of structural design, forestry, and materials. Paul explores creative low-carbon approaches for building structures by leveraging recent advances in manufacturing technologies and computational optimization. He currently studies the use of undervalued timber resources such as small-diameter timbers and underutilized Californian hardwoods species for high-performance architectural and engineering applications.
