Undergraduate Study: Universidad de Buenos Aires (Biology) Personal Statement
I majored in Zoology in Argentina, and earned an MSc for working towards the conservation of native ecosystems in productive landscapes. My practice as an environmental consultant took me on extended tours through the wild side of some of the most important natural landscapes of Argentina: the Patagonian deserts, the Andes mountains, the Iberá wetlands, and the subtropical forests in Misiones. Graduate Research Topic
My current research takes place across the Finger Lakes and the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, and aims to understand the role and importance of ants in the dispersal of forest wildflowers and in the recovery of the herbaceous layer in secondary forests.

I am currently developing a research project that aims to investigate population dynamics and abundance of American Robins on a rural to urban gradient. I plan to conduct research on the ecology of these birds, looking at their distribution on a broad to local scale and gain insight into their role in wildlife diseases such as Lyme disease. With this research, we will hopefully expand the knowledge of birds as part of the pathogen-vector-host cycle in the distribution and dispersal of ticks. Favorite Quote

Bozho nikanek, Getsimnajeknwet ndeznekas. Bodewadmi kwe endow. Vermont ne dotchbya. Hello friends, my name is Susannah Howard, and I am a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. I am from Thetford, Vermont located on the western bank of the Connecticut River. In May 2019, I graduated from Smith College (Northampton, Massachusetts) with a BA in Environmental Geosciences and certificate in Native American and Indigenous Studies. At SUNY ESF, I continue to pursue an interdisciplinary approach to science through the lens of Indigneous peoples as a Sloan Scholar in the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. I am studying how the culturally important plants of the Potawatomi are and will be impacted by climate change, and how these impacts might be mitigated through intertribal collaborations among the Potawatomi Nations in the future.

Investigating the effect of restored wetland management on floral resources to support native bee pollinators. I work in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex to determine how seasonal water drawdowns produce different flowering plant species, which in turn may result in unique pollinator assemblages. This will allow land managers to make more informed decisions to incorporate pollinators into future management plans, especially in a larger landscape context where wetlands may provide essential late-season resources.
