Caroline Alexa Famiglietti
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
BioCaroline Famiglietti is a first-year PhD student working with Prof. Alexandra Konings. She is interested in using remote sensing technologies to assess large-scale interactions between the carbon and water cycles. In 2017, Caroline graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and a minor in Geography/Environmental Studies. Prior to graduate school, Caroline worked in the Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems group at NASA JPL (with Josh Fisher) from 2017-2018 and in the UC Berkeley Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (with Sally Thompson) in 2016.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My field is global ecology, and my research emphasizes ecological contributions across the range of Earth science disciplines. My colleagues and I develop diverse approaches to quantifying large-scale ecosystem processes, using satellites, atmospheric data, models, and census data, and explore global-scale patterns of vegetation-climate feedbacks, carbon cycle dynamics, primary production, forest management, and fire. At the ecosystem-scale, we conduct experiments on grassland responses to global change, which integrate approaches from molecular biology to remote sensing.
Teaching
I am one of five professors who teach the Earth Systems field studies course for advanced undergrads and co-terms at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. I also teach an introductory seminar on climate change for freshmen.
