When he retired in 2008, our guest speaker was an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology at Montana State University, Bozeman. While at MSU, he investigated plants growing in geothermal environments in North America – primarily Yellowstone National Park – for more than 10 years. His research on the cellular mechanisms of heat tolerance in “hot springs panic grass” (D. lanuginosum) has been published in several peer-reviewed scientific journals (see https://www.howplantswork.com/hotplants/). He has also collaborated with scientists studying fungi that form symbiotic relationships with this plant, as well as with ecologists investigating plants adapted to naturally high-CO2 environments (of volcanic origin) in Yellowstone.
