B. Eng, M.S., Environmental Engineering, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (1995) Dr. Hasler’s research is broadly centered on land-atmosphere interactions, with detailed focus on a) precipitation response to land cover changes such as deforestation and conversion to agriculture, and b) determining controls on terrestrial water and carbon dioxide exchanges with the atmosphere. She employs a variety of methods including synthesis of flux-tower observations, regional climate simulation (RAMS), and general circulation modeling. Presently, she is assisting our group with mapping and monitoring forest carbon stocks across forests of the conterminous US and modeling seasonal and interannual variability of surface-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide. |

B.S. Forestry, Institute of Forestry, Tribhuvan University, Nepal (2009) Surendra Shrestha is interested in impacts of land use and climate change on hydrology, land-atmosphere interactions. His Master’s research examined hydrological impacts of land use and land cover changes in Georgia, as well as land use changes related to increasing demand for wood pellets in the US South. During Bachelor studies in Nepal, Surendra performed thesis research assessing the status of forest condition and plant diversity in a a community forest of Puranchaur VDC of the Kaski District. |
