Research Emphasis
Dr. Pendall conducts research on carbon and water fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, and on the effects of global changes such as increasing carbon dioxide concentrations and land-use change on these fluxes. An important component of her work involves the use of stable isotopes as tracers to better quantify small changes in these fluxes that might not otherwise be detected.
