Erica Newman

MS, PhD

Erica’s niche is fire, particularly in the ecologically sensitive region of French Polynesia. She has already been trained as a physicist, but her curiosity draws her to ecology. ERG has become a unique place for Erica to explore her aspirations in the biological sciences alongside those who have successfully trekked through similar transitions. Read in her own words how Erica has fine-tuned her fascinations while at ERG.

• anthropogenic impacts on fire regimes
• California chaparral
• climate change and biodiversity interactions
• Fire ecology and natural disturbance
• French Polynesia cloud forests and wet montane forests
• macroecology
