Dr. Jason Kaye
Co-Principle Investigator
Kaye is a professor of soil biogeochemistry and Chair of Ecology Intercollege Graduate Degree Program at Penn State. He teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in ecosystem ecology, environmental sustainability and biogeochemistry. A faculty member since 2005 in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, Kaye has been a pioneer in a critically important but understudied corner of ecology: the nutrient cycling dynamics driven by soils, soil-forming processes, and the role plants play in mediating those dynamics.
He applies this work to improving sustainability of forests and agricultural land management addressing broad-scale questions about how plants, soils, hydrology and climate interact. Additional information can be found at https://ecosystems.psu.edu/directory/jpk12.
