Caroline is a a plant and soil ecologist working at the interface of community and ecosystem ecology. Her research program broadly seeks to understand the ecology of terrestrial ecosystems and their responses to global change. She is currently a postdoc at the US Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center and Northern Arizona University investigating plant community vulnerability to climate change and predictors of restoration success in dryland ecosystems of the Southwestern US. Caroline is committed to using science to inform effective land management, decision-making, and public policy in a changing world.
