The Wall lab and the School of Global Environmental Sustainability look back at a successful 2015, and look forward to a new year that promises to be even more eventful.

The school’s Director Dr. Diana Wall (standing, seventh from the right), PhD candidate Ashley Shaw and postdocs Dr. Tandra Fraser and Dr. Walter Andriuzzi (seated, right to left) will soon be leaving for a new field season in the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER in Antarctica. In the meantime, Dr. André Franco and lab manager Cecilia Tomasel (in the back, first and third from the right) are growing plants and culturing nematodes for a multi-site project on the links between rainfall variability and soil-plant interactions; the first Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas is going to press; and the School of Global Environmental Sustainability will continue organizing projects and events to advance the study and communication of global environmental problems and solutions.
