Nick Glass | Postdoctoral Research Associate
Nicholas graduated from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL in 2013 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. He spent the next 4 years working in environmental education and historical conservation (and food & beverage) and produced a few independent research studies, including a qualitative assessment of cigarette butt impacts on soil and plant growth. In 2022, Nicholas obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago. His doctoral research focused on land-use legacy effects on tallgrass prairie restorations, and belowground resource availability effects on root systems. In the Sala Lab, Nicholas will be evaluating grazing and drought interactive effects on grasses in the Chihuahuan Desert as part of the National Science Foundation’s long-term research at the Jornada Basin.
