Research Information

Research Interests

Dr. Green studies the role of forests in regulating the water cycle, and how this impacts energy, carbon, and nutrient ecosystem budgets. He mostly uses data-intensive analysis to elucidate forest responses to natural variability, climate change, and forest management.

In addition to his research at CWRU, as part of a Joint Venture, he serves as the Research Hydrologist at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, operated by the Northern Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.
