Title: Ecology in the Age of Big Data: Cross-scale dynamics of biodiversity under global change
Abstract: The proliferation of environmental data is fundamentally changing the landscape of opportunity in the field of ecology. I will illustrate how we are leveraging these data resources, using a combination of leading-edge quantitative tools and ecological theory, to understand the processes that shape patterns of biodiversity. I will place a particular focus on the cross-scale nature of these dynamics, with variation across spatial, temporal, and organizational scales, and how these are being altered in response to global change.
