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, Lawrence Berkeley National 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
in
person,
the
lecture
will
also
be
available
