David Kroodsma has spent the past two years communicating the problem of global warming via the Ride for Climate project that he started in 2005.
For the two years prior to this project, David worked for the Carnegie Institution of Washington's department of Global Ecology, where he worked on the Jasper Ridge Global Change Experiment. This experiment, which is located on Stanford University property, attempts to discern the effects of climate change on grassland ecosystems in California.
Before working for the Carnegie Institute, David attended Stanford University, where he studied physics as an undergraduate and received a masters in Earth Systems for studying climate change and, in particular, how carbon dioxide cycles through the biosphere. At Stanford, he also spent two years as a teaching assistant in the physics and Earth Systems departments.
