Some say that soils can save the world, or at least provide a partial solution to climate change. Others say that our enhanced understanding of organic matter in soils negates that promise. Join us & Sally Brown for a discussion of soil carbon sequestration and how compost impacts this process.

About the Speaker:
Sally Brown, Research Professor, School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington
Sally Brown is a research professor at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. She has a BA from Williams College and a MS and PhD from the University of Maryland in Soil Science. Her research focuses on different aspects of the use of biosolids and other residuals including risks associated with contaminants, in situ restoration of contaminated sites, carbon balance for different end use options, and integration of residuals use in green urban infrastructure. She is a Fellow and former Board member in the Soil Science Society of America, a former Board member in the US Compost Council, was a two-term member of the National Academy of Science Standing Committee on Soil Science, is a member and former chair of the USDA CREES committee on use of residuals, was a reviewer for the upcoming IPCC assessment, and is a columnist for Biocycle Magazine. She was a member of the NAS committee on the bioavailability of contaminants in soils and sediments. She has won the US EPA Clean Water Act research award twice; once for her work showing that biosolids in combination with other residuals can be used to alleviate metal toxicity in situ, and for her work showing that biosolids are an effective fertilizer for canola for biofuel production. She has also won the US Compost Council Rufus Chaney Research Award, the Washington Organics Recycling Council Research Award and the King County Green Globe award for her research.
