An urban plant ecologist, Joanna's current research investigates relationships among urban plants, water, soils, and people in California, with a focus on climate-appropriate trees and water-wise landscaping. She holds a Ph.D. in ecology and M.A. in geography from UC Davis and an undergraduate degree in environmental studies from Vassar College.
