Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree is a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join Cal Poly Humboldt Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good.
Our guest for this episode is Dr. Rosemary Sherriff, Professor of Geography at Cal Poly Humboldt. We are always excited to feature professors that call our school home. There is a lot of exciting work being done at Humboldt and speaking with faculty about their research and areas of interest is a great reminder of that.
Rosemary started at Humboldt in 2009 after completing her PhD and Masters in Geography at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since then, research in her Dendroecology Lab has included western forests ranging from Alaska, the Rockies, to northern California. Recent research themes include stand dynamics and tree-growth response to climate, disturbance and forest management practices in redwood, oak and mixed conifer forests of northwest California; climate and spruce beetle effects across white spruce ecosystems near the North American boreal-tundra margin in southwest Alaska; and mixed-severity fire regimes in Montane forests of the Colorado wildland-urban interface and the broader western U.S. She has a lot on her plate and had just returned from a trip when we had the chance to sit down with her.
As an environmental historian who focuses on the areas of climate change, thrivance and food security, Jeff had a lot of questions for Rosemary about her research and the future of Humboldt county.
