Jenny Jenkins came to the Gund Institute in October 2002 from the USDA Forest Service, where she was a Research Forester from 1998 to 2002. Her current research relates to developing and implementing methods for large-scale assessment of forest and nonforest carbon cycling and sequestration rates. Recent projects have included using monitoring and inventory data, remote sensing, ecosystem modeling, and field techniques to understand and predict terrestrial carbon cycles in the northeast US and mid-Atlantic regions.
