Avery Driscoll is an ecologist who studies the interactions between agricultural systems and climate change. She is particularly interested in ways that we can adapt to changing growing conditions while also reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture. Her work at Project Drawdown focuses on climate solutions related to agricultural management and ecosystem protection.
Avery is currently a Ph.D candidate and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at Colorado State University, where she works on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions and productivity benefits from irrigation at the national scale. Previously, she worked at the University of Utah studying desert plant ecophysiology, with a focus on ecosystem carbon and water cycling in the context of climate change and drought.
In her free time, Avery enjoys cooking, gardening, and all forms of outdoor recreation.
