Cynthia Kallenbach’s research integrates soil ecology and biogeochemistry to understand soil organic matter turnover, accumulation, and microbial-plant interactions affecting carbon and nutrient cycling in the context of land use and global change. She received her B.Sc. degree in Geography from Sonoma State University in California, and went on to complete her M.Sc. in International Agriculture Development and Soil Biogeochemistry at the University of California-Davis, before earning her Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Science at the University of New Hampshire. Her research focuses on evaluating the impacts of altered precipitation patterns on soil biogeochemistry and microbial functional responses, particularly in managed ecosystems like croplands. Kallenbach utilizes an integrated approach, combining lab, greenhouse, and field-based studies with advanced analytical techniques, to inform the development of environmentally sustainable agricultural management practices.
