Eileen Thorsos and Dr. Ariana Sutton-Grier collect soil emissions in an experimental stream and wetland restoration site in Duke Forest. They are measuring carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide to assess the impact of plant traits on soil greenhouse emissions. Eileen is a PhD candidate in the University Program in Ecology whose advisor is Biology professor Dr. Rob Jackson. Ariana is a recent graduate of the Nicholas School of the Environment and worked in conjunction with Biology on the experiment.
