Seminar Title: Interactions control forest response to climate change

James S. Clark is H.L. Blomquist Professor of the Nicholas School of the Environment, professor of biology, and professor of statistical science. His research focuses on how global change affects populations, communities, and ecosystems.

His lab is using long-term experiments and monitoring studies to determine disturbance and climate controls on the dynamics of 20th century forests in combination with extensive modeling to forecast ecosystem change. Clark has authored over 170 refereed scientific articles and published four books, including Models for Ecological Data (Princeton, 2007), Models for Ecological Data in R (Princeton, 2007), and Hierarchical Models of the Environment (Oxford, 2006).
