While Antarctica is an icy, cold, desolate place today, 80 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous it was warm, forested and biogeographically connected to Australia and South America. What plants were growing in these forests, how diverse were they, and what was their role in the assembly of modern forests in the Southern Hemisphere ...

Anne McNeil

Our research aims to address some of the world’s biggest challenges through chemical recycling of waste plastics, developing methods to capture microplastics, measuring microplastics in the environment, and designing redox-active molecules for energy storage applications.

Derek Van Berkel

Dr. Van Berkel is an assistant professor at The University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability. His research focuses on understanding land change at diverse scales; the physical and psychological benefit of exposure to natural environments; and how digital visualization of data can add new place-based knowledge in science and community decision-making. He has ...

I work in the area of urban sustainability, with research questions at multiple scales and environmental and socio-economic systems. My work uses spatial analysis (esp. GIS and remote sensing) and mass-balance accounting (life cycle assessment, material flow analysis). My lab is starting to use big data from a range of sources (Zillow, Twitter, etc) and ...

Hernán López-Fernández

I am interested in the evolutionary processes that originate “mega-diverse” biotic assemblages and the role of ecology in shaping the evolution of diversity. My program studies the evolution of Neotropical freshwater fishes, the most diverse freshwater fish fauna on earth, with an estimate exceeding 7,000 species. My lab combines molecular phylogenetics and phylogeny-based comparative methods ...

William Currie

Bill Currie studies how physical, chemical, and ecological processes work together in the functioning of ecosystems such as forests and wetlands.  He studies how human impacts and management alter key ecosystem responses including nutrient retention, carbon storage, plant species interactions, and plant productivity.   Dr. Currie uses computer models of ecosystems, including models in which he ...
