Joshua Lawler is a professor in the College of the Environment at the University of Washington. He is an ecologist focused on applied conservation questions with real-world applications, particularly those related to climate change. His research interests include understanding how climate change drives shifts in plant and animal distributions and the impacts of these shifts on ecosystems at various levels. He employs a combination of field experiments and statistical simulation modeling techniques, collaborating with others to design tools that conservation planners can use to assess the impacts of climate change on protected landscapes. Additionally, Lawler studies how climate change affects animals, plants, and people, especially concerning the loss of ecosystem services such as carbon storage, and he examines the connections between human health, climate, and the environment.
