Leading scholars and policy experts will discuss the current state and future of the global energy transition, including questions of climate, energy, and extractive industries.
His research focuses on the effects of climate, disturbances, and land use on mountain forest ecosystems in the U.S. and in Europe. Important recent research themes include: 1) the causes and consequences of forest disturbances such as fires and insect outbreaks, 2) the effects of climate on tree mortality and forest dieback, 3) interactions and […]
His research group is interested in multiple aspects of ecology including: organic matter dynamics, ecosystem metabolism, food webs, disturbance, nutrient dynamics, invasive species, and tropical conservation. Our current focus projects are (1) Impacts of consumer assemblage extirpations and introduced species on tropical island aquatic ecosystems, and (2) Urbanization effects on community structure and ecosystem processes […]
In celebration of International Open Access Week, join us for a panel discussion on the impacts of open access and how it affects scholarship at Clark.
Dr. Rivera’s research and extension program focuses on the biology and ecology of insects in tree fruit agroecosystems including pesticide science, the development of sustainable insect management techniques using biological control and new technologies, and the biology of insect vectors of plant pathogens. Her extension program is centered on communicating information to enhance the profitability […]
Her research group focuses on interactions among plants, microbes and insects, and how they affect carbon cycling under current and future projected climates. To explore these questions, we also study ecological, evolutionary, and biogeographic determinants of species distributions by measuring physiological, morphological, and anatomical functional traits. We explore ecosystem-level consequences of differences in species and […]
