Catherine Badgley
|
Professor Catherine Badgley is an assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. She studies the ecology of fossil mammals and has conducted paleontological field work in Pakistan, China, Kenya and the western United States. Her research also includes studies of modern mammal biogeography. A long-standing interest in the modern biodiversity crisis led her to study the impacts of agriculture on biodiversity and then to evaluate alternative scenarios to the current food system. She is the immediate Past President of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, an international scientific organization.

David Allan
Lead Faculty GC1 |
Professor David Allan is an aquatic ecologist in the School of Natural Resources and Environment. His research focuses on diverse aspects of freshwater ecosystems, the interactions among species and across trophic levels, and the many ways that human activities are changing natural systems. Specific research areas include the influence of human-dominated land use on streams and rivers, approaches to river restoration, and freshwater protection strategies. At present, most of his work concerns threats to the Great Lakes. As much as he likes studying rivers, he’d rather be paddling or fishing. |
Chris Poulsen |
Professor Chris Poulsen is a climatologist in the Department of
Geological Sciences. His research interests include past and future
climate change, and the human and environmental impact of climate
change in developing countries. His research is typically mechanistic,
and tries to explain why the climate system works the way it does. To
do this, Chris uses theoretical climate models constrained by climate
proxy records and observational data. In addition to research and
teaching, Chris enjoys running, swimming, and just about any outdoor
activity that requires elevation change. |
