معرفی
Dr. Bonnie Waring is an Associate Professor in Ecosystems Ecology at Imperial College London's Department of Life Sciences (Silwood Park), part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. She leads the Waring Ecology Lab, which focuses on understanding plant and soil microbial community impacts on the global carbon cycle and climate change feedbacks. Her research emphasizes carbon sequestration in forests and agricultural systems, enhanced rock weathering, and ecosystem restoration. Affiliations include the Grantham Institute, Georgina Mace Centre for the Living Planet, and the CDT in Chemical Biology as a supervisor.
- Education: Not explicitly stated but inferred through her academic role and publications.
Research interests span biogeochemistry, soil carbon dynamics, and climate mitigation strategies. Recent work includes studies on dust-driven ecosystem shifts, herbivory impacts in Arctic wetlands, and scaling up enhanced rock weathering for CO₂ removal. Over 50 publications highlight contributions to tropical dry forests, nutrient cycling, and microbial ecology.
Her lab advises students on ecosystem ecology and climate solutions, with notable alumni including Jessica Murray (Postdoc at UIC) and Guopeng Liang (Yale Postdoc). Ongoing projects involve Michael Uren Foundation-funded soil microbiome research and UK NERC grants on extreme weather impacts.
Labs/Teams: Waring Ecology Lab at Imperial College London, collaborating globally across sites like Alaska, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Focus areas include canopy soil biogeochemistry and agricultural soil microbiomes.
