Professor, Arizona State University

Heather Throop is an ecosystem scientist whose research and teaching interests focus on carbon cycling in dryland ecosystems. She is particularly fascinated by understanding controls over carbon cycle processes in soils and plants and how these are altered by land use and global change.

Heather began working at Gobabeb in 2015 when she was a Fulbright faculty research and teaching fellow at Namibia University of Science and Technology. That year Heather co-led the Summer Drylands Program, an intensive research program for Namibian students. In the years since, she has maintained active research projects at Gobabeb, working with Namibian and US students and researchers on a range of carbon cycle projects.
