Postdocs
Murray Scown joined the lab in November 2016, where he led analysis of spatial patterns and drivers of European farming systems and their social, economic, and environmental outcomes. He is now a postdoc studying river deltas under climate, land use, and population change scenarios at Utretch University in the Netherlands. Previously, Murray was a postdoc at the US Environmental Protection Agency after receiving his PhD from University of New England in Armidale, Australia.
Stefan Olin led the ecosystem modeling for several projects, including an analysis of zero-emissions landscapes supported by the Crafoord Foundation, and an interdisciplinary project examining tradeoffs for ecosystem services under future land use scenarios in Sweden. Stefan holds a PhD and a joint postdoc appointment in Physical Geography and Ecosystem Sciences at Lund University.
