Biomass Feedstock Production in the Northeast: Land Use, Yields, and Sustainability

NEWBio Sustainable Bioenergy Project Webinar, hosted by Mike Jacobson.

Speaker Dr. Peter Woodbury, Senior Research Associate in the Department of Crop and Soil Science at Cornell University, seeks to improve our understanding of natural and managed ecosystems. Peter develops and uses different kinds of computer models including geospatial analyses to quantify the sustainability of agricultural and forest ecosystems and to improve agricultural and environmental management and policy. He is keenly interested in the effects of changing land use and management on agricultural productivity, air, soil, and water quality, and ecosystem services.
With multi-disciplinary teams including NEWBio, he is investigating the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges for sustainable bioenergy systems at farm, landscape, state, national, and international scales. Current projects also include working with a multi-disciplinary team to improve the sustainability of maize production under climate change.

Dr Woodbury has a Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology, is a Certified Senior Ecologist (Ecological Society of America), has extensive experience with ecological risk assessment, and is currently serving on two panels of the US Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board: (1) Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel and (2) Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee Ozone Review Panel.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
