Richard Conant is Professor and Department Head of the Ecosystem Science and Sustainability department. He is a soil biogeochemist and his work is focused on understanding carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils to help us understand how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon. He feels lucky to be working in a field that is so important and with so much to learn at a time when new analytical tools can quickly generate insights never before imagined. To expand the reach of their work, he worked with other ESS faculty to create the graduate-level Carbon Management program that’s impacting students across campus. He has helped launch startup companies in the sustainability arena and is a leader of the CSU Carbon Management Thematic Unite of Excellence. Dr. Conant earned his Ph.D at Arizona State University in 1997.
