Kristen DeAngelis is a microbiologist studying the main living component of soil, microbes. Her research involves how soil microbial communities are resilient to climate stress associated with warming and drying. As a PEP fellow, she will engage with community groups and lawmakers to encourage soil conservation, by planting local, perennial, and diverse plants, composting, and managing land to increase ecosystem resiliency and promote community values.
