Department of Horticulture Seminar Series: Join us for The Horticulture Fall 2021 Seminar Series Tuesdays in ALS 4000 or via Zoom.  

Soo-Hyung Kim, University of Washington, will present, “Cherry Blossoms, Plant Phenology, and Climate”. The event is free and open to the public.

Soo-Hyung Kim is a plant ecophysiologist, and Byron and Alice Lockwood Endowed Professor in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. He is also a resident faculty at the UW Botanic Gardens in Seattle, Washington.

Soo-Hyung received his PhD degree in Ecology at the University of California at Davis, and MS and BS degrees in Crop Science at Seoul National University in South Korea.

Soo-Hyung and his Plant Modeling and Ecophysiology Lab at UW study how plants respond to their environment at a variety of scales: from a leaf, to a whole-plant, to a canopy, and to the ecosystem. He works with cultivated plants, approaching his questions through a mix of controlled experiments and modeling.
