Allison M. Thomson is a Research Scientist at the Joint Global Change Research Institute, a partnership of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the University of Maryland, College Park. Her primary research interests are in the field of climate change and agriculture, using modeling to understand the impacts of global change on agricultural, soil and water resources. Recent research includes national and regional scale simulation modeling studies of agricultural response to climate change in the United States and China. In addition, her research explores alternative future scenarios of land management and the implications for the carbon cycle and food security.  She is an active researcher in the DOE Center for Carbon Sequestration in Terrestrial Ecosystems, the Consortium for Agricultural Soils Mitigation of Greenhouse Gasses and the Climate Change Technology Program.  Ms. Thomson has a Master's in Environmental Management from Duke University and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton College.
