Dr. Fissore is an Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Science at Whittier
College. Dr. Fissore has over 15 years of research experience in the field of soil science
and biogeochemistry across ecosystems, from forest to urban ecosystems to
agricultural systems, which have led to several peer reviewed publications and other
relevant reports and documents. Dr. Fissore’s research investigates soil organic carbon
cycling and stabilization associated with different environmental conditions and in
response to climate change and anthropogenic impact. Her most recent research efforts
have been focused on coffee farming systems, especially in novel productions located
in Southern California, with the goal to investigate the effectiveness of coffee farming in
stabilizing soil carbon and mitigating climate change.
