Speaker Bio
Kimberly R. Hall, Climate Change Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC’s) North America program, is an applied scientist with 20+ years of experience evaluating potential impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. At TNC, she plays multiple roles, including development and visualization of climate-related science, climate adaptation support for TNC’s state and regional programs across the US, and working with diverse groups of TNC staff and partners to develop climate adaptation strategies, tools, and guidance. Her current projects focus on (1) integrating data on climate, and human and natural systems, to promote more holistic approaches to managing and anticipating drought risks under climate change, (2) software innovations in, and applications of, landscape connectivity modeling, especially circuit-theory models; and (3) literature synthesis and spatial analyses to help managers update priorities for conservation planning and ecosystem restoration. Hall received her undergraduate degree in Biology from Dartmouth College, and completed her MS and PhD at the University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources and Environment. Her graduate research focused on the conservation and landscape ecology of forest-dependent songbirds in northern Michigan, USA.
