Sarah E Evans is the Red Cedar Distinguished Professor and an Associate Professor who specializes in Integrative Biology at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on how microbial communities respond to environmental changes and how these responses affect ecosystems. She is particularly interested in the effects of predicted changes in rainfall patterns, such as drought and flooding, on microorganisms and their roles in nitrogen cycling, greenhouse gas production, and agricultural sustainability in new climate regimes. Evans' laboratory employs a combination of DNA-based methods, culturing techniques, biogeochemical analyses, and field manipulations to ask fundamental questions about how microorganisms assemble into communities, respond to their environments, and adapt over time. Evans has a BA from Grinnell College and a Ph.D. from Colorado State University, along with post-doctoral experience at the University of California, Irvine.
