RESEARCH INTERESTS
ecological impacts of global climate change, bird migration, sociology and philosophy of interdisciplinary knowledge(s), ecosystem management
Dena joined CESP in February 2003. Before graduate school, she owned a wholesale business for seven years and worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center for injured birds of prey. Her doctoral research was in social science and philosophy; now she is developing her background in biogeography.

Her current research projects focus on the 1) vulnerability of North American songbirds to climate change, and 2) the association of North American bird species' ranges and timing of migration with abiotic environmental factors (weather, temperature, etc.). In order to assess ecological change over long time periods (century-scale), she is developing approaches to use unique long-term ecological databases on migration phenology, egg-laying, and range distributions.
