Lyndon Estes
Lyndon received his PhD from UVA and was a postdoctoral researcher in the Caylor Lab at Princeton University.
Biography
Lyndon’s primary interest lies in understanding how global change (climate change and food demand) shapes agricultural land uses, and how these in turn impact terrestrial ecosystems and species. He uses remote sensing and spatially-explicit simulation models as his primary tools of investigation. Further details on his research are <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/~lestes" target="_blank">here</a>.
Recent News
We recently published a paper in _Environmental Research Letters_ that examines changes in the water available for growing maize in sub-Saharan Africa between 1979 and 2010.
We are very happy to have been awarded new grants from both NSF and NASA!
Global change research in the fields of ecology and conservation biology primarily focuses on how changing climatic variables will directly impact species and ecosystems.
