Claudia Wagner-Riddle

Upon completing her PhD, Wagner-Riddle joined the faculty at her alma mater, the University of Guelph, in 1994.^[3] Beginning in 2008, she has been collaborating with organizations from her homeland, Brazil, in documenting the impact that management of agriculture has on greenhouse gas emissions.^[4] Wagner-Riddle was also elected to the Ontario Agricultural College Board of Directors^[5] and contributed to the development of the Nitrous Oxide Emission Reduction Protocol.^[1] Her research led to a cross-Canada partnership of government, industry and universities in green agriculture technologies to benefit Canadian farmers. In 2011, Gerry Ritz granted the university nearly $4 million in grant funds to study and develop tools to help farmers mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.^[6] She also received $2.8 million from the federal Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program to lead a research project to lower the carbon footprint of dairy farming in Canada.^[7] The following year, Wagner-Riddle was named a YMCA–YWCA Women of Distinction Award for her "efforts to integrate the life and physical sciences to address environmental problems".^[3]

In 2012, Wagner-Riddle was appointed editor-in-chief of the journal Agricultural and Forest Meteorology.^[8] While serving in this role, she also became the director of the University of Guelph's Soil Health Interpretive Centre where she teaches visitors about soils as ecosystems.^[9] A few years later, she was elected a fellow of the Canadian Society of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology.^[10] In 2020, Wagner-Riddle was appointed director of the North America regional chapter of the International Nitrogen Initiative^[11] and elected a fellow of the American Meteorological Society.^[12]
