Biographical Information

Eben N. Broadbent is a joint Fellow in the Sustainability Science Program of the Harvard Kennedy School and is based at Harvard's Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Department. He is also a Research Associate at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. His research interests are in tropical ecosystem degradation and recovery. He is a tropical ecologist (UVM BS 2000,UFL MS 2005) and received his PhD from the Department of Biology at Stanford University in 2012. Prior to starting his PhD he was a researcher in the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution for Science. He began working in the tropics while earning his BS in botany where he investigated niche partitioning among cloud forest epiphytes. Over the last decade he has conducted research focusing on the tropics, including in the Brazilian, Bolivian, and Peruvian Amazon, Indonesia, Costa Rica, and Mexico. In his latest project he fuses airborne waveform LiDAR with hyperspectral imagery to model climate-productivity interactions within a tropical forest in Hawaii. For this research he was awarded a Department of Energy Global Change Education Project Doctoral Research Fellowship and a NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant. He is involved in projects linking social sciences with forest ecology and remote sensing, including development impact assessments on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and understanding feedbacks between soil fertility and land use decision making in the context of rapid infrastructure development in the Amazon. His faculty host at Harvard is Prof. Noel Michele Holbrook.
