forests and their soils are extremely important for the global carbon cycle, but how tropical forest carbon pools and fluxes will respond to future climate and land use change is uncertain. Climate projections suggest a warmer and drier future for much of
the tropics and tropical forests are more heavily impacted by human induced land use change than any other biome. Much of the soil carbon stored in tropical forests is in pools with high decomposition rates and short turnover times with a potential for rapid
response to future change. This talk includes recent research using radiocarbon measurements to improve estimates of belowground carbon turnover times and the role of climate, relative to other site factors, in controlling soil carbon storage and age in tropical
forests spanning moisture regimes from dry to wet tropical forests, environmental gradients, and manipulation experiments.</span></span></div>

McFarlane is an Earth Scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry where she uses radiocarbon measurements in her research on carbon storage and cycling in a variety of terrestrial ecosystems including forests,
grasslands, croplands, and wetlands. Karis has been at LLNL since 2007 after receiving her PhD in Forest Soil Science from Oregon State University. She received a Department of Energy Early Career Award in 2016 to study soil carbon storage and cycling in tropical
forests. In addition to learning about global, ecosystem, and soil biogeochemistry, Karis enjoys hiking, gardening, yoga, spending time with her family, and fostering puppies through a local animal rescue.</span></span></span></div>
