Philip E Dennison
Professor, Sch Of Environ,Society&Sustain
Research Summary: My research uses remotely sensed data to answer important scientific questions related to terrestrial vegetation, wildfire, and climate. Some of the research that I am currently working on includes:
1. Monitoring seasonal changes in vegetation
2. Measuring vegetation response to disturbances like wildfire and drought
3. Assessing firefighter safety, including safety zones and escape routes
4. Measuring greenhouse gas plumes.

MITCHELL J. POWER
Curator of the Garrett Herbarium, Utah Museum of Natural History, University of Utah
Professor, Sch Of Environ,Society&Sustain
Research Summary: I am a historical biogeographer with interests in modern and past plant communities and how they respond to natural disturbance. My research is aimed at understanding how climate influences ecosystem dynamics through time. I currently have projects in Ethiopia, Bolivia, the Caribbean and in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. The long-term impacts of climate-driven and human-caused landscape dynamics, including large-scale disturbances, produce a landscape with inherited ecological legacies.

LISBETH A. LOUDERBACK
Associate Professor, Anthropology Department
Curator of Archaeology, Natural History Museum of Utah
Research Summary: I bring a strong interdisciplinary background to archaeology with technical expertise in archaeobotany and paleoecology. Plant remains found in archeological sites, provide clues to local resources and past climates that help define human dietary patterns through time. This allows me to explore how people coped with environmental change during the late Pleistocene and Holocene in western North America, with a particular focus on the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau.
Equipment:
Zeiss Axioscope 2 (transmitted brightfield microscope fitted with polarizing filters and Nomarski optics)
Zeiss HRc (digital camera)
Zeiss Zen (imaging and measurement software)
Zeiss Discovery 8 (stereoscope)
Axiovision (imaging and measurement software)
Beckman TJ-6 Centrifuge
