Krishna Rao
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on developing machine learning algorithms to remotely monitor vegetation health by using microwave remote sensing. I am interested in answering questions such as:
- How can we leverage the vast amounts of data our satellites are capturing to understand the health of our forests?
- How can we obtain information about hydraulic health of vegetation with little or no ground-collected data -
Anna Rasmussen
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a microbial ecologist, generally interested in the connections between microbes and biogeochemical cycling. I use DNA-based and biogeochemical techniques to understand the ecology of nitrogen-cycling bacteria and archaea in the San Francisco Estuary.

Matthew Reinhold
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPlanetary habitability, specifically looking into the effects of tidal heating as both a source of energy to maintain habitable climates, and as a means of keeping small, terrestrial worlds warm, and thus geologically active for long periods of time. In addition, I am interested in the physical, geological and chemical processes on exotic worlds, like Saturn's moon Titan. How do the climates of such worlds evolve, and what kinds of geologic features would they produce on the landscape?
