From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William R. L. Anderegg is an American scientist and researcher, who has contributed to the fields of climate change and ecology. Dr. Anderegg’s research examines the impacts of climate change on Earth’s forests. His work includes studies on the scientific consensus on climate change, the physiology of tree and forest drought responses, climate change impacts on pollen seasons, and climate risks to forests and nature-based climate solutions[1][2]. Dr. Anderegg is a professor of biology and the founding director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy at the University of Utah[3]. Dr. Anderegg was the first ecologist to win NSF’s Alan T. Waterman Award (2023) since its inception in 1975[4].

Early life and education

[edit]

Dr. Anderegg was born and grew up in southwestern Colorado[5]. Dr. Anderegg received a B.A. and completed a Ph.D. in biology at Stanford University [1]. His dissertation work examined the physiology of how trees die from drought and climate stress through damage to the water transport system and the scientific consensus around climate change[2]. He completed a NOAA Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship at Princeton University[1] [2].

Career and Research

[edit]

Dr. Anderegg’s research examines how climate change will affect forests, ecosystems, and society in the western US and around the world [4]. Dr. Anderegg’s notable research contributions include quantifying the scientific consensus around human-caused climate change [6][7], illuminating the physiology of how climate stress and drought kill trees through disruption of the water transport system[5][8][9], revealing that human-caused climate change is driving longer and worse pollen seasons in North America [10] [11] [12], and quantifying the climate risks like wildfire to human communities and to forests as nature-based climate solutions in the 21st century[13][14].
