Title
Robert Griffiths Oral History Interview
Description
After completing a PhD at OSU in 1972, Bob Griffiths spent the next dozen years in marine microbiology research. However, research funding in oceanography became increasingly scarce, so he switched to forest soils using his skills in microbiology and biochemistry. He teamed up with Kermit Cromack and Phil Sollins on studies of fungal mats in forest and meadow soils, soil respiration, and carbon dynamics. He was also very active in through the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates program based at Andrews Forest for many years, although he did not have a teaching position in the university.
