Allyson Beall King

Allyson Beall King is the Director of the School of the Environment and a Scholarly Associate Professor at Washington State University. Her work focuses on system dynamics and collaborative modeling to bridge gaps between science, education, and decision-making in water resources management. She holds a PhD in Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences from WSU.

Key research interests include participatory modeling methodologies, climate change adaptation, and sustainable governance of water systems. Her projects often involve multidisciplinary collaboration with stakeholders to address complex environmental challenges such as groundwater management and drought resilience.

Dr. King’s research portfolio includes studies on the Palouse Basin, Okanagan Basin, and national parks like Glacier. She emphasizes the integration of natural science with social concerns to create actionable decision-support tools. Recent work explores managed aquifer recharge, soil conservation policies, and pelletization strategies for bioenergy systems.

Her articles highlight trends in participatory environmental modeling, adaptive governance frameworks, and the application of system dynamics to socio-ecological systems. Notable contributions include frameworks for collaborative water resource management and climate impact assessments.
