"Forecasting the Future to Protect Monarch Butterflies" with Dr. Elise Zipkin

7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
East Lansing Public Library

Description

Dr. Elise Zipkin will be at the East Lansing Public Library as part of the Spartan Science Seminar Series.  She will talk about her team's research, which utilizes forecasting methods to inform conservation efforts for species like the monarch butterfly.

As a quantitative ecologist, Dr. Elise Zipkin connects the complexities of natural communities with the precision of mathematics to shine light on mysteries in ecology and conservation. Elise and her team develop analytical frameworks to address grand challenges in the study of biodiversity loss and the effects of anthropogenic activities, such as climate change. She harnesses empirical data (big and small) to understand fine and subtle interactions in the natural world, revealing the causes and consequences of species’ declines and biodiversity loss while charting pathways to mitigate and reverse these alarming trends.

Elise has published over 75 peer-reviewed articles and delivered more than 40 invited talks nationally and internationally. Among her honors is being named an Ecological Society of America Early Career Fellow and a Fulbright U.S. Senior Scholar. Elise regularly works with management agencies to translate the results of her research for conservation. She is committed to open, accessible, and reproducible science and to supporting and mentoring the next generation of scientists, natural resource managers, policy makers, and scientific communicators.
