Dr. Elizabeth Webb is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Western University. After studying classical geology for four years, she found her true passion in stable-isotope biogeochemistry, focusing specifically on the dynamic interaction between plant mineralization and climate. Her intriguing research on Central American soils has allowed for a comprehensive understanding of climate change and ecosystem response to climate change and anthropogenic landscape modifications. Suzy Kim, a WURJHNS representative, had the wonderful opportunity to interview Dr. Webb on her research and her experiences at Western University.
