Darren Norris
Lecturer at the Federal University of Amapá, Brazil. My research interests are broad and are currently focused on the conservation of biodiversity and traditional livelihoods around waterways that traverse political (national and international), cultural and ecological boundaries. I am particularly interested in inter-disciplinary approaches, comprising population and community ecology, population biology, landscape and spatial statistics.
Worradorn Phairuang
Dr. Worradorn Phairuang is a Lecturer at Chiang Mai University, Thailand. His main research focuses on the chemical and physical characteristics of airborne nanoparticles. His interests cover all the natural and anthropogenic sources, particularly biomass burning including forest fire and agricultural residue burning. He is very interested in emission inventory from biomass burning in Thailand and Asian countries.

Andrew P. Robinson
Managing Director of the Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis; Professor of Applied Statistics in the Schools of BioSciences and Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Melbourne. My broad interests are in applied statistics, biosecurity risk analysis, and forestry.
Seyed Mohammad Moein Sadeghi
Dr. Seyed Mohammad Moein Sadeghi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Ecohydrology Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Matthew J. Cohen. His research interests include precipitation partitioning (throughfall, stemflow, interception), reference evapotranspiration, and the impacts of silvicultural treatments and forestry management practices on hydrological and biogeochemical cycles at various scales (from stand to global scales). He has experience as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Transilvania University of Brasov (Romania) from 2021-2022 and Visiting Researcher at the TU Delft (Netherlands) from 2017-2018. Dr. Sadeghi received his Ph.D. (Forest Hydrology) from the University of Tehran (Iran) in 2018, where he modeled rainfall partitioning in typical plantation stands in a semiarid climate zone.
Maria J Santos
Assistant Professor in Environmental Sciences, Utrecht University.
My research combines field methods, GIS, remote sensing, statistical modeling, historical archival research, and conservation biology, history, and planning. I focus on four research areas:
* Assessing interaction and feedback mechanisms of social-ecological systems in space and time
* Identifying global change drivers through conservation histories and relate them to changes and fluxes in species and ecosystems, land use policy, and environmental governance
* Investigating how land use and climate changes affect spatial and temporal dynamics of species and habitat at multiple scales
* Use of state of the art remote sensing, GIS and quantitative analysis to answer interdisciplinary research questions
Maria J. Sanz
Professor Sanz is the Scientific Director of the Basque Centre of Climate Change. Her own research agenda focuses on effective land use decisions, the optimal allocation of land resources for sustainable and efficient development.
She was at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization as the UNREDD Programme Coordinator (2012-2016), Director of the International Institute for Climate Change (I2C2, 2011-2012) and a Senior Officer at the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) supporting Land Use, land Use Change and Forestry, Agriculture and REDD+ negotiations up to 2007-2011.
Before 2007, she was Director of the Air Pollution Effects and Atmospheric Chemistry Programmes at the Center for Environmental Studies of the Mediterranean, and adviser to the Spanish Minister of Environment. She was a Lead Author of Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, and Lead Author of the IPCC Methodological Guidance documents since 2003.
She holds a PhD in Biology by the University of Valencia, and worked extensively in Air Pollution, Carbon Cycles and Climate Change feed-backs in the Mediterranean Regions after she ended her post-Doctoral studies at the Arizona State University.
Juliana Schietti
I am a plant ecologist and my interests include forest structure and dynamics, species diversity, plant traits and relationships with environmental gradients. I am an Ecology professor and researcher at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) and an associate researcher at the National Institute for Amazonia Research (INPA) in Manaus, Brazil.
Tanvir Shahzad
Dr. Tanvir Shahzad is an Associate Professor at the Government College University, Faisalabad. He is an environmental scientist with a PhD in Agronomy, Ecology, Biogeochemistry from AgroParisTech.
Dr. Shahzad's research focuses on the intersections of soil biology, soil ecology, and use and assessment of nanomaterials for the benefit and sustainability of soils, more specifically, he is currently working on making Pakistan's soils sustainable.
Simon F Shamoun
Experienced Research Scientist with a demonstrated history of working with the Canadian Forest Service. Skilled in Forest Pathology, Forest Indigenous & Invasive Alien Pathogens, Sequence Analysis, Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), Epidemiology, and Molecular Ecology. Strong research professional with a M.Sc. & Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees focused in Forest Pathology, Biotechnology & Forest Pest Management from N.C. State University & University of Arkansas, USA, respectively.
Mark M Smits
Lector (lecturer) at HAS University of Applied Sciences in the fields of biology, soil science and data analysis. Previously worked as postdoc at Hasselt University, Lund University and University of Sheffield. PhD in soil science and geology at Wageningen University.
Katharine L Stuble
Plant Biologist at The Holden Arboretum. Research focuses on the ecological impacts of global climate change and species invasions.
Our lab researches the basic mechanisms underlying the maintenance of diversity within communities, as well as how global change may alter these communities and the services they provide. We focus on two main drivers of global change: climatic warming and species invasions with a particular focus on how global change is altering interspecific interactions ranging from competition to mutualisms.
