​​Kathy Kelsey,  Postdoctoral Scientist  -  University of Alaska Anchorage

     I am a broadly trained environmental scientist with focuses in vegetation ecology and terrestrial biogeochemistry. I explore ecological and biogeochemical responses to the interacting effects of climate and locally relevant processes such as human land management actions, and grazing and habitat for important wildlife species.  
   ​       Science is a vital tool for society, and in addition to my research I am also active in efforts to make the power of scientific information accessible and pertinent to all.  I work to strengthen the field of science by reaching across traditional discipline boundaries, and making science inclusive and impactful to people from all backgrounds.
