Kosana Suvočarev is an Associate Professor of Cooperative Extension in Biometeorology at the University of California, Davis, where she specializes in land–atmosphere interactions and environmental monitoring across agricultural and natural ecosystems. Her work integrates micrometeorological and physiological measurements to better understand how vegetation responds to environmental variability and climate change. Dr. Suvočarev’s research focuses on evapotranspiration, carbon and energy fluxes, and greenhouse gas emissions, using advanced techniques such as eddy covariance systems, surface energy balance approaches, and plant-level physiological sensing. Her applied research supports improved irrigation management, water-use efficiency, and climate-smart agricultural practices, particularly in water-limited regions. More recently, her work has expanded into forest ecosystems, including studies in coastal redwood forests.
Dr. Suvočarev earned her Ph.D. in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from the University of Zaragoza, where she developed expertise in micrometeorology and ecosystem flux measurements. Through her interdisciplinary work, she continues to bridge atmospheric science, plant physiology, and ecosystem ecology to advance sustainable resource management in both agricultural and forested landscapes.
