Speaker Series and Events

The UM IoE supports outstanding extramural speakers whose research fits broadly within the IoE research theme "to promote and support a center of excellence in interdisciplinary research focused on mechanistically understanding the principles that underlie ecosystem function across scales from landscapes to genomes." 

Upcoming Speakers

January 23, 2025

University of California – Riverside

Distinguished Professor of Biogeochemistry, Earth & Planetary Sciences Dept

Timothy Lyons is the Principal Investigator (PI) for the Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research (ICAR) award, Alternative Earths – How to Build and Sustain a Detectable Biosphere, and leads the UCR Astrobiology Center. Lyons has a long history with the Astrobiology Program, and has served as PI on numerous projects supported through elements of the Program. Lyons’ leadership and innovation led to important developments in paleoenvironmental proxies used to track redox changes in the rock record of Earth. His research has helped advance understanding of how the diversity of life on Earth today is tied to gradual changes in biogeochemical cycles and biosphere evolution over billions of years.
