OverviewAI-generated summary

Greg Thoma's research focuses on conducting comprehensive environmental and life cycle assessments of agricultural systems, particularly in the United States. He investigates the environmental impacts associated with various animal agriculture sectors, including dairy and beef cattle, as well as swine. His work examines resource use, waste management challenges, and the potential for sustainable treatment technologies for animal manures.

Thoma also applies life cycle assessment methodologies to crop production systems, evaluating the environmental footprint of commodities like pulses and exploring the trade-offs between conventional, integrated, and organic farming practices. His research has extended to energy flow and impact assessment in diverse agricultural contexts, such as coffee-pepper production in India. He has also explored prospective life cycle assessment and cost analysis for novel waste treatment technologies, including electrochemical struvite recovery in wastewater treatment plants and electrochemical ammonia removal in aquaculture systems.

His scholarly contributions are reflected in a substantial publication record, with 171 total publications and an h-index of 38. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Marty D. Matlock, Lauren F. Greenlee, Zahra Anari, and Karla G. Morrissey.
