Our 2019 Keynote Speaker
MEES is excited to welcome Michael Dietze, Associate Professor in the Earth & Environment Department at Boston University. Professor Dietze will address ecological forecasting and its application to citizen science.
Biography: Michael Dietze leads the Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, the mission of which is to better understand and predict ecological systems. He is interested in the ways that iterative forecasts can improve and accelerate basic environmental science, while at the same time making that science more directly relevant to society. Much of the current work in the lab is organized under two broad umbrellas, the Near-term Ecological Forecasting Initiative (NEFI) and the PEcAn (Predictive Ecosystem Analyzer) project. NEFI is focused on addressing overarching questions about ecological predictability, while developing forecasts for a wide range of ecological processes and advancing statistical and informatic tools for ecological forecasting. PEcAn is focused more specifically on the terrestrial carbon cycle, improving our capacity for carbon monitoring, reporting, verification, forecasting, data assimilation, and multi-model benchmarking and calibration within the land component of Earth System models.
