"I believe that we can all play a part in helping those less fortunate than ourselves, especially in regards to healthcare. But it all starts with opening our eyes and understanding the current state of the system around the world." |

Dr. Susan Melzer-Drinnen - Colorado State University - Department of Soil and Crop Sciences:
Susan Melzer is a Research Associate and Special Professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Colorado State University. She received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in the geological sciences from the University of Colorado and her doctorate in Soil Science from Colorado State University. Her background in sedimentary geology has laid the foundation of her current research interests which is to study how physical, chemical, and biological processes in differing environments around the world influence soil genesis. The susceptibility of soils to alter in response to climatic and land use conditions is top priority on her research agenda as she investigates the impact of cultivation on the biogeochemistry of biogenic silica along native and cultivated grassland ecosystems.
Susan also works in close collaboration with the USDA-NRCS and the NPS to develop accessible data and educational material that will enable a link between educators, researchers, students, and park managers. As an educator, Susan is a firm believer in developing top-quality science courses for the live and virtual classroom. She currently teaches Pedology, Global Environmental Sustainability, and Physical and Environmental Geology.
