About Me

Hi! I'm Spencer Tassone and I'm a Ph.D. candidate at UVA working with the Pace Ecosystem Ecology lab group. My work examines disturbances, extreme events, and resilience in aquatic ecosystems. I earned an A.S. in Social Science ('11) from Tidewater Community College, B.S. in Environmental Studies ('14), M.S. in Biology ('17), and Graduate Certificate in GIS ('19) from Virginia Commonwealth University. I am also a Certified Ecologist, Ecological Society of America.
