Tian Guo is a Research Scientist with the National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory and Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University. She studies improvements and applications of Watershed Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model and teaches Introduction to Surveying (ASM 216) course currently. She received her PhD from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University under the mentorship of Dr. Bernard Engel in 2016. Her research focuses on the evaluation of the impacts of climate and land use changes, and human decisions on crop yields, and sediment and nutrient reductions at various scales in the Mississippi River Basin and the Great Lakes region. Her primary research goals are to improve soil health, climate resiliency, agricultural sustainability, and water quality. Her professional experience included engagements with various stakeholders (including farmers, officers from local agencies, and the general public) through research projects. She believes building a network of diverse sectors of society can help her solve complex social-economic-environmental problems.
