The Ecology Core Program at NCEAS is comprised of diverse projects in ecology and allied disciplines, and frequently also engages researchers involved in our special programs for Conservation and Resource Management and Ecoinformatics.
Research Highlights
NCEAS research spans a wide variety of topic areas, and across disciplines. The following research highlights summarize a small sample of the diverse research undertaken at the Center.
 |
- Ecological Effects of Climate Change NCEAS scientists examine environmental, economic and social impacts of modern changes in temperature (global warming), atmospheric gases, precipitation, wind patterns, and the severity of storms. More
|
 |
- Marine Ecology and Conservation Marine studies at NCEAS address fundamental questions about ecological and evolutionary processes, and provide information to resource management and conservation professionals. More
|
 |
- Ecology of Infectious Disease Ecologists, evolutionary biologists, medical researchers, and social scientists increasingly seek crossdisciplinary collaboration to understand the interplay of disease, humans, and their environments. More
|
 |
- Economics and Ecology By bringing economists to work with ecologists and environmental scientists at NCEAS, we gain both analytical expertise and knowledge of the economic factors that play an important role in conservation and management decisions. More
