Biographical Sketch:
John Bradford is a research ecologist with the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona. John studies the impact of global change on terrestrial ecosystems, focusing on understanding how changing climate and land use influence terrestrial vegetation structure and composition as well as ecosystem processes, notably carbon and water cycling. His interests tend toward large spatial and long temporal scales and integrate results from manipulative and observational experiments with simulation modeling, remote sensing and GIS to scale insights from plots to landscapes and regions. Prior to joining the USGS in 2011, John worked a research scientist for the US Forest Service in Minnesota. John received a B.A. in biology from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in ecology from Colorado State University.
