Kudos x2! to Sebastian Busby for successfully defending his dissertation this past November and for his new postdoctoral position at the USFS with Jeremy Fried.
Oregon Public Radio (OPB) showcased our Nat Geo project on the southernmost tree! (here)
Rose was offered (and accepted!) an exciting new NCS scientist position with TNC here in Portland. Congrats Rose!
A very warm welcome to Taylor Salazar to the GEC Lab!
Buzz was officially allowed by NSF to conduct some of his postdoctoral work here in the PNW (in addition to Patagonia). He is re-sampling old sediment cores and collecting brand new ones! along the western Oregon Cascades to assess postfire trajectory changes from charcoal and pollen assemblages. Way to go!
Paola and Andrés (and the overall NSF-GSS Araucaria project) were highlighted in PSU's recent piece on international research on sustainability!
Andrés was awarded PSU's Sustainable Researcher, which was showcased (here) and the journey to find the southernmost tree was published in National Geographic Magazine (here).
KUDOS to Kyla!, who gave an oral presentation at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting and participated in the Critical Physical Geography workshop, which created a space for participants to think through and articulate the ways in which race and equity intersect with their research, especially in terms of questions and methods associated with the biophysical domain.
Congrats to Buzz for his dissertation paper on pehuen in J of Biogeograpphy!
With excitement and sadness, Laura moved on in her career to a new position with the USFS, with lots of fun fieldwork and also desktop work. Kudos Laura! You will be missed!!
Andrés presented ongoing work in Patagonia (led by Kyla and Paola) at the American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting in honor of Tom Veblen's career and legacy on vegetation dynamics in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Andrés was invited to present on our spatial analysis of the drivers of high severity patterns during the Labor Day 2020 Fires in Oregon in Jon Fink's Cascadia wildfire and smoke webinar. Recorded here. Work lead by Cody Evers and Sebastian Busby, with Max Nielsen-Pincus as co-author.
Big Congrats to Dana Bergstrom and colleagues for the invitation to this awesome synthesis work: Combating ecosystem collapse from the tropics to the Antarctic. Global Change Biology (accepted).
Congrats to collaborator and friend Jan Bannister and colleagues for inviting me to work on their paper on the influence of microsite conditions on early performance of underplanted Nothofagus nitida seedlings when restoring degraded coastal temperate rain forests. Forest Ecology and Management (accepted).
Congrats to collaborators Jessica Halofsky, GEC Lab's Buzz Nanavati & Laura Platt, and Kelly Gleason on our Wildfire chapter in: Dalton, M., and E. Fleishman, editors. 2021.
