Stephanie Pau, Principal Investigator, CV
Stephanie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Florida State University. Her research investigates how climate change alters tropical forest phenology and productivity. She also works collaboratively in a diversity of systems, such as temperate forests and grasslands. Much of her work is underpinned by questions of how and why species and communities are distributed along environmental gradients, and the consequences of this for ecosystem functions.

John Cothrun, Ph.D. candidate
His current interests include the application of numerical algorithms for forest classifications and land cover change for the purpose of restoration activities on public lands. He is applying machine-learning algorithms to classify longleaf pine habitats in Florida using satellite imagery. John has worked for federal and state agencies as well as private organizations in fire management, timber inventory/managment, GIS, and environmental consulting. Email: jcc14j@my.fsu.edu

Nicole Zampieri, Ph.D. candidate
Nicole is researching the growth and distribution of Pinus palustris in Florida's longleaf pine savannas. Her broader research interests include climate change, biogeography and ecosystematics. Nicole is actively involved with the Monarch-Milkweed Initiative at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, the Friends of St. Marks, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, and the Florida Native Plant Society at the state and local level.

Carly Voight, Ph.D. student (co-advised with Sarah Lester)
Carly’s research interests include spatial prioritization, predictive, and ecosystem service valuation modeling. She anticipates conducting her research on incorporating climate change into regional spatial conservation planning in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. She has over 10 years of experience working for non-profit conservation organizations as a GIS Analyst. Email: carlyvoight@gmail.com
