David Jacobs is a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on the coevolution of Earth and life, utilizing a synthetic approach that combines a wide range of data analysis to address complex questions related to the evolution and diversity of life. His work spans a variety of scales, from the development of individual fossil forms to global impacts on diversity. Jacobs employs diverse molecular techniques to investigate evolutionary processes, particularly during critical periods like the Cambrian radiation. His recent research emphasizes the influence of geological and anthropogenic processes on coastal speciation and conservation, particularly in regions like California and Polynesia. He also explores the effects of tectonic and sea-level processes on coastal habitats and their implications for species management and restoration efforts.
Department of Economics admits primarily for the PhD program.
