Biography
Adriane Esquivel Muelbert in an Associate Professor head of the Global Change Ecology group in the Department of Plant Sciences and Conservation Research Institute. Her group investigates the impact of global change on forests, their biodiversity, and the ecosystem services they provide focusing on two fundamental components of forests: the composition of tree species and the dynamics of these systems. Adriane has led several synthesis of forest ecology at large scales, working with colleagues from across the globe. She coordinated efforts that brought together field biodiversity data on forest from across the Tropical Americas and forest dynamics data globally and currently coordinates efforts integrating drone, AI and field techniques to understand when, where and why large trees die. Her team has collaborated with Molecular Biologist to understand the role of epigenetic on tree adaptation to change. Adriane works towards bringing solutions to our environmental crisis through inclusive and fair science working with policymakers, artists and practitioners across several projects and countries.
