Rachel Mackelprang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at California State University, Northridge. Her work bridges microbial ecology, climate change, and planetary science, focusing on permafrost ecosystems and their implications for Earth and extraterrestrial environments.
- Ph.D., 2006, University of Washington
- B.S., 2001, University of Utah
Dr. Mackelprang teaches courses like General Biology (BIOL 101) and Seminar in Cellular and Molecular Biology (BIOL 655A). Her research explores microbial processes in extreme environments, particularly permafrost thaw dynamics and their carbon cycling impacts.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding
- permafrost microbiomes under climate change,
- alkane-degradation pathways in marine bacteria,
- and Mars exploration via permafrost analogs.
