An overarching goal of Dr. Nathan Stephenson's\ \ research is to improve scientists' and land managers' ability to understand,\ \ forecast, and adapt to the effects of ongoing global changes \u2013 particularly\ \ changing climatic and disturbance regimes \u2013 on forests.Accordingly, most\ \ of his research falls in three broad, complementary themes: (1) improving\ \ mechanistic understanding of forest and carbon dynamics, (2) detection, attribution,\ \ and interpretation of forest changes, and (3) adaptations to rapid global\ \ changes. The last theme extends well beyond forests, to natural areas in general.RESEARCH\ \ INTERESTSForest ecologyGlobal change biologyClimate changeFire ecologyNatural\ \ areas managementAdaptationEDUCATIONPh.D., Ecology and Systematics, Cornell\ \ University, 1988B.S., Biological Sciences, University of California, Irvine,\ \ 1979" additionalType: personal statement email: nstephenson@usgs.gov hasCredential: [] hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc roleName: Scientist Emeritus startDate: '2024-05-12T15:46:17.389802' identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q49553 - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0003-0208-7229 jobTitle: Scientist Emeritus knowsAbout: [] memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-12T15:46:17.387008' name: Nathan Stephenson url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/nathan-stephenson
