Thea Whitman is a Visiting Associate Professor specializing in Soil Ecology, Microbiology, and Biogeochemistry. Her research focuses on soil microbial ecology, specifically organic matter decomposition and carbon stabilization in relation to global environmental change. Whitman investigates the functional significance of microbial communities in ecosystem processes, including the impact of fire on soil carbon and microbial life. Her work integrates stable isotopes to trace ecological interactions and processes in soil environments. She also addresses management and policy implications linked to soil health and sustainability. With a commitment to advancing the understanding of soil systems, Whitman provides essential insights into how microbial dynamics influence broader ecological outcomes.
