Professional Biography of Vincent P.Gutschick

October 2009

Dr.Gutschick directs a new consulting firm, the Global Change Consulting Consortium, Inc. (http://gcconsortium.com), incorporated in the state of New Mexico. The consortium operates on a novel business plan. It has recently completed a contract with BP for their Azerbaijan operations and is currently working on optimizing deficit irrigation on major nut crops in 3 western states, using physiological and micrometeorological modelling. He is a professor emeritus in the Department of Biology at New Mexico State University, where he continues to direct doctoral students and pursue research. His research centers on plant adaptations in photosynthesis and water use, both agricultural and ecological, and it incorporates extensive use of physiological and micrometeorological models for hypothesis development. He is a member of the graduate faculty and he has taught general biology, plant physiology and plant ecology,biophysics, mathematical modelling, and instrumentation at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

His current interests are in global change: the role of vegetation in climate via water and carbon fluxes; vegetation responses to climatic change and attendant biotic changes, particularly the physiological and evolutionary responses to extreme events.
