"How large animal extinctions have shaped ecosystems and us"

About Dr. Chris Doughty

I am an Associate Professor in ecoinformatics at Northern Arizona University. I research how climate change will impact tropical forests and how large animal extinctions could impact ecosystem function.  I also have  projects in remote sensing, paleoclimatology and astrobiology.  I majored in Environmental Science at the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently completed a PhD in Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine. I spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution, Stanford. I then accepted a fellowship in tropical forest ecology at Oxford University. In 2013 I began a Lectureship in the School of Geography and the Environment at Oxford.  In 2016 I began my current  position at NAU.  I have taught classes on Ecosystems, Environmental Remote Sensing, and Environmental Modelling.
