Ecology Seminar: Dr. Ashley D'Antonio

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Ashley D'Antonio is an Associate Professor, Gene D. Knudson Forestry Chair, and Associate Department Head in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University. Her field of research is recreation ecology, which focuses on understanding disturbance related to outdoor recreation in parks and protected areas.

She primarily use interdisciplinary and spatial approaches to understand visitor behaviors, use patterns, and related disturbances across spatial and temporal scales. Recent projects have focused on understanding and managing visitor use in Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Rocky Mountain National Parks, as well as state-managed lands in Oregon and California.

Ecology Center Seminar: Dr. Scott Wing

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Scott Wing studies fossil plants and climate change during the last part of the Age of Dinosaurs and the first part of the Age of Mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He is particularly interested in the evolutionary radiation and ecological expansion of flowering plants, and in the globally warm climate of this time.

One of his main interests is an event called the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which provides the closest analog in earth history to the Anthropocene, the current epoch of human-induced global warming and global ecological change.
