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]
