Biography
Brad Oberle’s research supports diverse, resilient communities through deeper understanding of the complex relationship between life and climate. As an Associate Curator at the New York Botanical Garden, Brad focuses on plants and microbes, which interact to drive the global carbon cycle in habitats transformed by people. To identify where, when and why ecosystems face tipping points and species face extinction, Brad draws techniques from ecology, evolution and statistics. Then, to translate novel science into effective action, he partners with community groups, natural resource managers and policy makers. Together, they advance innovative, practical solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises.
