At 12 points around the globe—including one at Stanford—scientists are working to detect when the Anthropocene began.

Rodolfo Dirzo is Professor of Biology and Earth Systems Science at Stanford University. Rodolfo's scientific work examines the study of species interactions in tropical ecosystems from California, Latin America, and other tropical areas of the world. Recent research highlights the decline of animal life (“defaunation”), and how this affects ecosystem processes/services (e.g. disease regulation).

SIEPR's David Lobell and Monika Piazzesi are among seven Stanford faculty elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
