Welcome
Welcome to the web page for Dr. Sharon J. Hall and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology laboratory at ASU! In our research, we are interested in exploring the relationship between humans and the environment in the present and over the long-term past. Specifically, our current projects are focused on how human activity alters nutrient cycling within and between ecosystems, and how these processes affect ecosystem goods and services available to humans and other species on Earth (indicated by the green arrows in the figure below). In the future, I hope to work with graduate students and colleagues to explore how we can work within the social system (education, values, economics, and political institutions; red arrows below) to achieve long-term ecological sustainability of ecosystems and the services they provide to the biosphere. Please explore the links on the left navigation menu to find out more details about our exciting projects, who we are, and opportunities that are available within our research group!
