Welcome to the Williams Lab!
We take a broad, interdisciplinary, approach towards studying vegetation dynamics and vegetation-climate interactions. Most of our work focuses on the vegetational responses to late-Quaternary climate change, with the goal of better informing our understanding of potential ecological responses to 21st-century climate change.
We work at the interface between data and models, with an emphasis upon quantitative analyses of ecological datasets and mechanistic models of the vegetation and climate system. We also have a fully equipped lab for the collection and paleoenvironmental analysis of lake sediments, including pollen, charcoal, LOI, and coulometry. We work closely with other climate-change scientists on campus, including the Center for Climatic Research and the Quaternary Paleoecology Lab.
Please look around our site, meet the people who work here, and browse through our research and picture gallery. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
