Dr. Laura Schneider: Recipient of Moore Foundation Grant |
 |
 |
|
Laura Schneider, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is the Principal Investigator on a new Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation three-year grant totaling $989,934. The project is titled "Ecosystem-level Response to Large Scale Natural Disturbance in Southern Yucatán: Evaluating Forest Resilience in Protected Areas." Co-PIs on the project are John Rogan (Clark University), Deborah Lawrence (University of Virginia) and Birgit Schmook (El Colegio de la Frontera Sur). The award underwrites investigation into the impact of weather extremes on forests in the Southern Yucatan Peninsula following hurricane events. The research seeks to increase understanding of the forest ecosystem and landscape- level responses following large-scale disturbances and to increase the technical and scientific capacity for science-based approaches to long-term management at agencies at the Calakmul and Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserves. |
