Biography

Dr. Logan Berner is an ecologist who studies forest and Arctic ecosystems, particularly impacts of climate change. His research combines field ecology, satellite remote sensing, and ecological informatics to understand terrestrial ecosystems in a warming world. Past research projects included field work in various parts of Alaska, as well as northern Canada, Finland, and Russia. Much of his research involves mapping and monitoring aspects of terrestrial ecosystems (e.g., vegetation biomass, productivity, and composition) by linking field measurements with satellite observations. He also conducts applied forest conservation research focused on climate change mitigation and biodiversity protection.
