BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| Fiorenza Micheli is a marine ecologist and conservation biologist. She was born in Italy, where she graduated from the University of Florence. She obtained her PhD in the U.S. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working with Pew Fellow Pete Peterson on the behavior and ecology of estuarine invertebrates, on habitat linkages within estuarine seascapes, and on the function and restoration of seagrass and oyster reef habitat. She was then a postdoctoral researcher at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barbara, California, and she has been part of the faculty of the Biology Department at Stanford University since 2001. Micheli’s academic and professional goals are to make significant contributions to the basic understanding of processes shaping marine communities and to the science informing marine management and conservation. In addition, she wants to ensure that this information is available to decision makers and other stakeholders, and to help train future professionals to find solutions to environmental problems.
Micheli’s research focuses on the processes shaping marine communities and the development of strategies to incorporate this understanding in the management and conservation of marine ecosystems. She investigates how interactions between species change marine communities over time and in different habitats. In addition to addressing these basic ecological questions, her research seeks to apply community... read complete bio |
