Presenter Details

Dr. Chris Doughty

I am an associate professor in ecoinformatics at Northern Arizona University. I research how climate change will impact tropical forests and how large animal extinctions could impact ecosystem function. I also have projects in remote sensing, paleoclimatology and astrobiology. I majored in environmental science at the University of California, Berkeley, and subsequently completed a PhD in earth system science at the University of California, Irvine.

I spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution, Stanford. I then accepted a fellowship in tropical forest ecology at Oxford University. In 2013, I began a lectureship in the School of Geography and the Environment at Oxford. In 2016, I began at NAU. I have taught classes on ecosystems, environmental remote sensing and environmental modeling.
