Welcome to the Debinski Lab!
Research interests in my lab encompass the restoration of prairie habitats, the study of montane meadows and climate change, and the recruitment and retention of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields through the ADVANCE program.
Some of my current research projects include:
Prairie Restoration
- Restoring prairie habitats that have incurred biodiversity loss. For a book describing my research on this topics see "The Prairie Builders: Reconstructing America's Lost Grasslands" by Sneed Collard
- The complex role of tall fescue in grassland ecology
Montane Meadows and Climate Change
- Testing the use of GIS and remote sensing data in predicting species distributions in montane meadows under present day and global climate change scenarios.
- Synthesizing long-term species distribution data.
- Global climate change and the ISU Climate Science Program
- Experimentally Simulating Climate Change Effects on Trophic Interactions in Montane Meadow Systems
ADVANCE
