Biography
Sherri Morris studies carbon cycling in terrestrial systems. Her research currently examines alterations to carbon and nitrogen dynamics as a consequence of land-use change. Her research program has involved more than 45 undergraduates, plus numerous high school students and K-12 educators, as research interns, providing them opportunities to experience a breadth of scientific approaches and to connect with a diversity of researchers. She serves on the editorial board for two journals and is past president of the Soil Ecology Society. Sherri has also received the Caterpillar Inc. New Faculty Achievement Award for Teaching (October 2005) and for Scholarship (October 2003) and was a member of the NSF sponsored Biology Scholars Program Research Residency in 2008.
