You heard a brief review of her work during our Future of Mature Trees event on August 1, now come listen to a more in-depth discussion of her critical work in forest ecology, climate change and the importance of our regional forests! Good work by a distinguished and highly respected researcher. Not to be missed!
“Dr. Beverly Law is an Emeritus Professor of Global Change Biology & Terrestrial Systems Science in the Department of Forest Ecosystems & Society, and an adjunct professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences. Dr. Law’s research focuses on the effects of climate change, fire, and management on ecosystem carbon and water cycling, addressing issues such as vulnerability of forests to drought-related mortality, and ecological implications of human actions intended to minimize drought and fire effects. She is an author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed publications. She and her students and postdocs have contributed to our understanding of the interactions between ecosystems and the atmosphere, and regional analysis of carbon and water cycling and potential vulnerability of forests under future climate. Dr. Law has testified before U.S. House and Senate Committees on a variety of issues, such as Managing forests in response to climate change including for natural resource adaptation and carbon sequestration, and Monitoring, measurement, and verification of greenhouse gas emissions.” (Oregon State University)
