Grossman-Clarke, Susanne

Organization(s):

Arizona State University

Dr. Grossman-Clarke received her PhD in Geoecology from the University of Potsdam, Germany. She received her MA and BSc in Physics from Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. Susanne studies atmospheric dynamics and has been working with Arizona State University (ASU) since 2000. Her current research emphasizes the improvement of atmospheric boundary layer schemes and the physical representation of urban surfaces in meso-scale meteorological models MM5 and WRF. The models are applied in order to study the influence of urbanization on weather in the Phoenix metropolitan region. In previous research with the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research, (Germany) Grossman-Clarke studied the impact of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations on the energy exchange in Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere systems and crop growth

Research Interests:

atmospheric processes; mesoscale meteorological modeling; urbanization effects on weather and climate; crop modeling; modeling and simulation

Sponsors

National Science Foundation (NSF) - The only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. We are tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. So, in addition to funding research in the traditional academic areas, the agency also supports "high-risk, high pay-off" ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow.

Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, Michigan State University - A center of excellence that integrates ecology with socioeconomics, demography, and other disciplines for ecological sustainability from local, national, to global scales.

Global Land Project - A joint research project for land systems in the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme.

About CHANS-Net

Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are integrated systems in which humans and natural components interact. CHANS research has recently emerged as an exciting and integrative field of cross-disciplinary scientific inquiry, with research projects covering a variety of coupled systems in locations spanning the globe. Although individual projects have generated many important insights, it is essential to systematically transform the field to be more than the sum of its parts and provide broader insights of greater scientific and societal significance than those resulting from individual projects alone. The goal of CHANS-Net is to foster this transformation by facilitating communication and collaboration among members of the CHANS research community.
