About
Dr. Whendee Silver is Professor of Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C. Berkeley. She received her PhD in Ecosystem Ecology from Yale University. Her work seeks to determine the biogeochemical effects of climate change and human impacts on the environment, and the potential for mitigating these effects. The Silver Lab was awarded the Innovation Prize by the American Carbon Registry (2015) for work on climate change mitigation. Professor Silver is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Geophysical Union, the Ecological Society of America, and is a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow. She was named a University of California Climate Champion for 2016 for outstanding teaching, research and public service in the areas of climate change solutions, action and broad engagement.

Dr. Jeremy Semrau holds the Arthur F. Thurnau Professorship of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research integrates molecular biology, biogeochemistry, and bioinformatics to characterize how microbes control CH4 and N2O emissions, as well as how microbes affect the speciation and availability of copper and mercury. Professor Semrau pursues both fundamental (e.g., genetics and biochemistry of novel metal-uptake mechanisms used by bacteria) as well as applied research (e.g., design and modeling of advanced bioreactors for methane removal).
