The fourth lecture in the Water Institute's WaterTalks Lecture Series features Dr. Susan Hubbard, Associate Lab Director for Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Senior Scientist, Berkeley Laboratory.
Dr. Hubbard's lecture addresses New approaches for characterizing watershed structure and function.
As
the
Associate
Lab
Director
for
Earth
&
Environmental
Sciences
at
Berkeley
Laboratory,
Dr.
Hubbard
leads
a
premier
group
that
has
a
significant
research
portfolio
in
climate
science,
terrestrial
ecosystem
science,
environmental
and
biological
system
science,
fundamental
geoscience,
and
subsurface
energy
resources.
Research
within
this
area
of
Berkeley
Lab
is
tackling
some
of
the
most
pressing
environmental
and
subsurface
energy
challenges
of
the
21st
Century.
Susan
Hubbard
earned
her
PhD
in
Civil
and
Environmental
Engineering
at
UC
Berkeley,
an
MS
in
Geophysics
at
Virginia
Tech,
and
a
BS
in
Geological
Sciences
at
UC
Santa
Barbara.
Prior
to
joining
Berkeley
Lab,
she
was
a
geologist
at
the
US
Geological
Survey
and
a
geophysicist
in
industry.
Her
research
focuses
on
quantifying
how
terrestrial
environments
function,
with
a
particular
emphasis
on
the
development
and
use
of
geophysical
approaches
to
provide
new
insights
about
processes
relevant
to
contaminant
remediation,
carbon
cycling,
water
resources,
and
subsurface
energy
systems.
She
leads
the
Genomes-to-Watershed
Scientific
Focus
Area
and
several
other
large
team
projects.
For
those
unable
to
attend
the
lecture
in
person,
it
will
also
be
available
