Background 

Dr. Jeremy Hansen is a USDA-ARS Research Soil Scientist stationed in Pullman Washington. He received a B.Sc from the Utah State University, M.Sc From University of Idaho and Ph.D. from Washington State University in Soil Science. Jeremy has worked for the USDA-ARS for 20 years where he has contributed to numerous projects investigating the soil microbiome and soil health associated with various crops and cropping systems in the dryland regions of the PNW. In his current role, he will be contributing to the efforts of ARS researchers working to quantify and improve soil health of agroecosystems throughout the PNW.

Skills and Expertise

Phospholipid fatty acid analysis, SAS and JMP multivariant statistics analysis

Role in the CAF-LTAR

Microbial communities of long-term cropping systems and microbial response to alternative cropping systems
