Kelsey Griesheim

Kelsey Griesheim is an Assistant Professor at the School of Natural Resource Sciences, North Dakota State University. Her academic focus lies in soil fertility and nutrient management, particularly nitrogen dynamics in agricultural systems.

• PhD in Soil Chemistry/Fertility (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, 2022)
• MSc in Soil Chemistry/Fertility (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, 2019)
• BSc in Crop Sciences (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, 2016)

Her research emphasizes optimizing nitrogen use efficiency in cropping systems through innovative techniques like 15N isotopic tracing, aiming to balance agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability. Key projects include evaluating fertilizer placement strategies, in-season nitrogen applications, and isotopic analysis of nutrient sources.

Recent publications highlight advancements in 15N-labeled fertilizer systems, diffusion methods for soil nitrogen analysis, and field-based evaluations of nitrogen management practices. These works address critical challenges in nutrient cycling, pollution reduction, and soil health preservation.
