Research Description

I am using empirical data to test the effects of climate change over the last 100 years on the distributions of songbirds in the California Coast Range—from the Oregon border south to San Luis Obispo…[read more]

Research Description

My general research interests include the study of dispersal and connectivity, fragmented populations, metapopulation dynamics, effects of climate change, and the application of population genetics to estimating dispersal and other population parameters.

Research Interests

forest ecology, invasion biology, conservation biology, and quantitative methods in ecology

Research Interests

Plant-soil microbe interactions, alpine tundra

Research Description

Juyoung is currently studying the role of mass transfer limitations of substrates, metabolites and oxygen at the scale of soil aggregates in controlling Se cycling and mobility under diffusive conditions mimicking in situ conditions. Our project is…[read more]

Research Description

My primary research interest is to understand how local and regional agro-ecological landscapes influence plant and pollinator communities, their gene flow processes, and their ability to provide ecosystem services.  Broadly, this research program covers topics…[read more]

Research Description

I am a historian of energy, technology, and environment.

I research the ways that we have come to use and depend on fossil fuel energy sources and how these decisions have transformed the relationships between humans, technology, and nature.

I…[read more]

Research Interests

Modelling and analysis of data on population dynamics.

Research Description

I am a Malaysian forest mensurationist who works in the area of sampling, silviculture and data analysis, likes field work, and enjoys living in different cultures to learn their ways of seeing and managing forests.

stream ecology; hydrology; biological monitoring and assessment; water quality; flow modelling; climate change; benthic macroinvertebrates

Research Description

My research follows three lines: 1) development of metrics and analysis techniques for biological monitoring and assessment of water quality; 2) habitat manipulations to examine flow-alteration and ecological-response relationships; and 3) environmental flow modelling to…[read more]

Research Interests

Ecological restoration and management for sustainable ecosystems

Research Description

I am interested in how environmental change affects community and ecosystem ecology.  In my research I use field experiments and empirical observation, as well as tools from biogeochemistry, genetics, simulation modeling, and anthropology.

Research Interests

I am interested in conservation of natural land and restoration within agroecosystems.

Research Description

I use population genetic and geospatial analysis and occupancy modeling to identify climate change refugia in Yosemite National Park and throughout the Sierra Nevada. My research also examines the shifts in ground squirrel populations in…[read more]

Research Description

Helene mostly works on problems at the interface between ecology and evolution. She combines theory and empirical work to understand the processes underlying current biodiversity patterns.

Research Description

I am interested in the causes and consequences of barriers to gene flow among natural populations. Gene flow can be reduced by factors such as physical barriers that prevent dispersal, by interspecific interactions such as…[read more]

Research Description

I’m interested in the intersection of soils, climate, geochemistry, geochronology, and geomorphology, and what we can learn about Earth and other planets combining techniques from these disciplines.
