The PaleoEcoGen Working group invites anyone interested to attend a monthly Webinar Series.
21 April 2022 – 15:00 UTC
Allison Stegner, Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford University
Title: "Tracking abrupt ecological change in the Quaternary fossil record"
Short bio
M. Allison Stegner is a paleoecologist whose research synthesizes modern, historic, and paleoecologic records to study how species diversity and abundance have changed through time in response to past environmental changes. She has a B.S. in Biology (emphasis on Ecology and Evolution) from Stanford University, and Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. From 2016-2019, she was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where she was a member of the Abrupt Change in Ecological Systems Group, an interdisciplinary team studying the drivers and consequences of abrupt ecological changes using theoretical, modeling, and empirical approaches. Stegner is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where she is using lacustrine sediment cores to study the geologic basis for defining the Anthropocene.
