OverviewAI-generated summary
Greg Thoma's research focuses on conducting comprehensive environmental and life cycle assessments of agricultural production systems in the United States. His work investigates the environmental impacts associated with various livestock operations, including dairy, swine, and beef cattle, as well as crop production systems such as pulses and integrated coffee-pepper farms. Thoma has published studies examining the challenges and perspectives for sustainable manure management technologies in dairy and swine operations. He also studies the energy flow and life cycle impacts of different farming practices, evaluating conventional, integrated, and organic approaches.
Further research by Thoma addresses the carbon footprint of livestock, specifically enteric methane emissions from beef and dairy cattle. His publications also extend to novel wastewater treatment technologies, including prospective life cycle assessment and cost analysis of electrochemical struvite recovery in wastewater treatment plants, and electrochemical ammonia removal and disinfection of aquaculture wastewater. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 38, with 171 total publications and 4,907 total citations.
