Executive Committee
John (Jack) Williams
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Jack Williams is an earth system scientist, paleoecologist, and biogeographer who studies species responses to past and future climate change. His research themes include novel climates and communities, abrupt change, megaherbivore extinctions, paleoecoinformatics, and data-model synthesis. He is a professor in Geography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the former Director of the Center for Climatic Research.
Jessica Blois
Associate Professor, University of California, Merced
Jessica Blois' research focuses on how environmental and biological drivers shape responses of North American mammals and vegetation to past, present, and future climate changes. She holds a B.S. in Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution from UC San Diego, a M.A. from Humboldt State University, and a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University.
Thomas Giesecke
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
Thomas Giesecke analyses information on late Quaternary vegetation change as documented in pollen data to explore state changes in terrestrial vegetation, ecosystem resilience and threshold responses and uncover tipping points.
Alison Smith
Professor and Dean of Honors College, Kent State University
Alison Smith's research is centered on the development of the modern and fossil non-marine ostracode record as a tool in determining changes in water quality and climate through Holocene time. She focuses on the role of ground water-surface water interactions in mediating the terrestrial climate record, and in identifying paleohydrologic changes using the ostracode ecology and ostracode shell geochemistry.
