How can we CARE more in environmental research?

Heather Lahr

Heather is the Project Manager for the Cultivated Seafood project. In collaboration with the Environmental Markets Solution Lab at UCSB, the team aims to understand under which conditions cultivated seafood may have a conservation impact. With over ten years in both the seafood and technology sectors, this project perfectly combines her background and interest in creating better food systems for people and the planet. Heather completed her Masters in Environmental Resource Management with an emphasis in coastal conservation at the Bren School at UCSB and a B.S.

Chad Burt

Chad Burt is Principal Developer for the McClintock Lab and develops software for marine conservation planning and fisheries management. Our main application, SeaSketch, has been used in over a dozen countries to support marine spatial planning projects. Chad works to understand how web and spatial technology can be used by a broad set of stakeholders, focusing on the development of user-friendly tools. Chad received a B.A. in Biology from the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Jeanette Clark

Jeanette helps researchers make their research more reproducible and open by helping them publish data on the Arctic Data Center, and teaching them software and workflow techniques in training events. She is broadly interested in ways to bring reproducible research and open data practices to researchers in order to facilitate collective knowledge production in science. Prior to working at NCEAS, Jeanette brought her oceanography knowledge to a coral reef ecology research group at the NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center.

Rachel King (she/her)

Rachel King is a data analyst on the Digital Assets for Nature project, working to catalogue and summarize the extent of current digital monitoring efforts of the natural world. With a background in ecosystem and plant ecology, Rachel has conducted research that investigates the interactions between plants and soil and how humans may alter these relationships. This work can further our understanding of ecosystem responses to climate change as well as how to restore function to landscapes negatively impacted by humans.
