Hannah Carey, Ph.D, Zoology - expert on hibernation biology
Hannah V. Carey was born in Brooklyn, NY. As a child she had a strong attraction to animals and biology for as long as she can remember. Hannah spent most childhood summers in the country near the Long Island Sound, where she was able to learn about both terrestrial and marine animal life. [American Physiological Society]
Dr. Carey is currently a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in veterinary science. She has her Ph.D. and M.A. in Zoology from the University of California-Davis. Her research focuses on gastrointestinal physiology and hibernation biology.

Dave Karnosky, Ph.D., Forest Genetics - expert on trees and other plants
Dr. Karnosky's current research focuses largely on the impacts of air pollution and global change on forest ecosystem structure, function, and productivity. He maintains research on both traditional and modern genomic approaches to forest tree improvement. Currently, this tree improvement research is aimed at understanding growth and carbon allocation in rapid growing poplar and larch species for planting in northern regions. Recently, he enjoyed examining variation in pest tolerance and crown architecture, and growth in valuable but threatened mahogany species in western Africa.
”How global change will impact forest ecosystems is one of this century's most intriguing research questions: Our Aspen FACE experiment is one of the world's premier sites to address this question.”
Dr. Karnosky has always tried to closely link his teaching with his research interests to keep the courses current, fresh, and relevant. The lab always has an international feel to it as he's conducted research on 5 continents, continues to be active in IUFRO, and he frequently has international students and/or post docs.
