“Return of the Pyrocene: Wildfires in Your Backyard!”
Dr. Barton completed his MS at the University of Florida, and his Ph.D. in Biology at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the award-winning book, The Changing Nature of the Maine Woods, and co-author of Ecology and Recovery of Old-growth Forests in Eastern North America, as well as over 50 scientific journal articles. He co-founded the Michigan National Forest Watch and the UMF Sustainable Campus Coalition. He serves on several advisory groups for the state of Maine, including the Science Advisory Committee for the Ecological Reserves System. His research has been supported by grants from NASA, the National Park Service, and the National Science Foundation, among others. Here he speaks at the Wilson Lecture at Miami University.
Dr. Barton’s visit is sponsored by the Roger E. Wilson Lecture in Botany Fund, which was named for the former ecologist in Miami's Department of Botany and established in his memory by family, friends, and colleagues.
