Andrew Reinmann, Ph.D.
Dr. Andrew Reinmann is an ecologist and biogeochemist who focuses on plant ecophysiology and the terrestrial carbon cycle. He is particularly interested in understanding the effects of environmental change (e.g., climate change, urbanization, and land cover change) on the drivers of plant-mediated controls of terrestrial carbon cycling, and nitrogen dynamics as a limiting nutrient, across a continuum of human-disturbed ecosystems. His research draws from multiple disciplines and combines field observations, ecosystem experiments, and laboratory analyses with GIS, remote sensing, and modeling. Reinmann currently has projects in forested and human dominated landscapes throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. For his latest CV, click here.
Prof. Reinmann welcomes the involvement of students, post-docs, and visiting scientists in the lab. Please contact him at areinmann@gc.cuny.edu if you are interested. He is actively looking for a Ph.D. student to start during summer/fall of 2021 — if interested, please click here.
