BIOSKETCH

Dr. Timothy Kittel is a research ecologist and climate scientist with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder.  He has over thirty years of professional research experience in global change science, with contributions to the science of climate-biosphere interaction, historical climatic change, and regional ecosystem and climate modeling.  Dr. Kittel's work on climate change impacts has been included in IPCC and US National Assessments.  His current research foci are on approaches for considering climate change uncertainty in biodiversity conservation planning and climate change in high mountain regions.  Dr. Kittel has published over 80 peer-reviewed publications in ecology and climate dynamics.

Dr. Kittel's teaching emphasizes field instruction in ecology and conservation biology.  He currently teaches Winter Field Ecology in the Rocky Mountains and study abroad courses on conservation in Latin America.
