Impact Through Investigation
Our research in Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology focuses on the mechanisms of biodiversity loss and the restoration of degraded ecosystems. By combining rigorous field observation with innovative experimental design, our faculty and students bridge the gap between theoretical ecology and real-world conservation practice.
From investigating the resilience of local Long Island pine barrens to studying the complex dynamics of global tropical rainforests, we are dedicated to developing sustainable management strategies. Our goal is to ensure that natural populations, their habitats, and the critical ecosystem services they provide persist for generations to come.
