Ronald Amundson is an American environmental scientist[1] who is currently Professor at University of California, Berkeley.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]Amundson received his PhD from the University of California, Riverside in 1984.[3] For this work, he had analyzed the carbon and oxygen stable isotopic ratios of calcium carbonate within the soils in the San Joaquin Valley.
Research
[edit]His interests are isotope biogeochemistry, environment history & ethics, ecosystems, pedology and soils.[4] His highest cited paper is "Rapid exchange between soil carbon and atmospheric carbon dioxide driven by temperature change"[5] at 759 times, according to Google Scholar.[6]
Awards and honors
[edit]2019 - Elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union[7]
