Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marty D. Matlock's research focuses on environmental sustainability, with a particular emphasis on ecosystem services and agricultural systems. He has investigated changes in ecosystem service values and mapped multiple ecosystem services in regions including the San Antonio area, Texas, and West Africa. His work also addresses the environmental sustainability of fruit and vegetable production supply chains in the context of climate change.

Matlock has conducted life cycle assessments of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural products, including milk production and consumption in the United States, and regional analyses of emissions from U.S. dairy farms. His research has also examined water quality parameters, such as dissolved phosphorus concentrations and trophic status in Ozark streams and the Lake Waco/Bosque River Watershed.

Matlock holds a Ph.D. in Biosystems Engineering and is a registered professional engineer and Board-Certified Environmental Engineer. He has served as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Agriculture and as Executive Director of the University of Arkansas Resiliency Center. He has received numerous design awards and was elected to the Board of Agriculture and Natural Sciences of the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine.
