Franklin Institute: Susan Trumbore, Climate Sleuth

Susan Trumbore is a geological researcher and authority on climate change. She won the Benjamin Franklin Medal of Franklin Institute Awards in 2018 for "her pioneering use of radiocarbon measurements in forests and soils to assess the flow of carbon between the biosphere and atmosphere, with implications for the understanding of future climate change"[1] She specializes in the carbon cycle which is " the system by which carbon moves between the Earth's atmosphere, plants and animals, and soil and oceans."[2] In 2010, Trumbore was selected to be a National Academy of Science Fellow[3].

She has published many papers and has been quoted in Science[4], NPR[5], Nature[6], and AAAS[7].

She is currently the Director at the Max-Planck Institute for Bio-geochemistry in Jena, Germany. Previously she was a Professor of Earth System Science at University of California, Irvine.
