Mer om författaren

Jennifer Pontius: Dr. Pontius currently serves as Dean for Curricular Affairs at the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources and as Director of the Environmental Sciences Program at the University of Vermont. Her scholarship is interdisciplinary, with the goal of scaling field observations and relationships to a landscape-scale using remote sensing and geographic information systems to inform the management of temperate forests. This integration of technical tools with traditional ecological approaches provides the landscape perspective necessary to mitigate the impacts of environmental stressors like climate change with the information necessary to guide activities at local to regional scales.Alan McIntosh: After receiving his PhD in limnology at Michigan State University, Professor McIntosh taught at Purdue University and Rutgers University before joining the School of Natural Resources at the University of Vermont. He served as Director of the Vermont Water Resources and Lake Studies Center, and he chaired the Environmental Sciences Program in the school from 1995 until 2013. He taught a number of environmental courses, including the introductory environmental sciences class each semester during that period. His primary research interests have been the fate and effects of toxic contaminants in surface waters.
