Dr. Sujay Kaushal is an Assistant Professor in ESSIC and Department of Geology at the University of Maryland, College Park. His area of expertise is Ecosystem Ecology and Biogeochemistry. He completed a B.A. in Biology (concentration in Ecology and Systematics) at Cornell University (1997), and he completed his PhD in Biology (concentration in Biogeochemistry) at the University of Colorado, Boulder (2003). He completed his postdoctoral research at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies (2003-2005). Before he joined University of Maryland, College Park, he was an assistant professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science from 2005-2010.
His current research projects are focused on understanding the interactive effects of land use and climate change on the ecosystem ecology and geochemistry of water resources. Current projects investigate: strategies for managing the nitrogen cycle, sustainable restoration of urban infrastructure, salinization of fresh water, impacts of rising river temperatures, forecasting regional carbon cycles, and tracking pollution sources.
