معرفی
David Bowling is a Professor in the School of Biological Sciences and an Adjunct Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah. His research focuses on biophysical controls over Earth's carbon and water cycles, particularly land-atmosphere interactions in forests, grasslands, and arid lands with seasonal snow cover. He combines interdisciplinary approaches from ecology, hydrology, physics, and geochemistry, with recent emphasis on computational methods and statistical learning.
- Research Highlights: Carbon/water cycle dynamics, biosphere-atmosphere exchange, environmental change impacts, computational ecology.
- Teaching: Courses in ecosystem ecology, biophysical ecology, ecological modeling, and hydrology.
His work has been supported by grants from NASA, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the University of Colorado. He has contributed to the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and served on climate change advisory panels.
