Avery P. Hill

I’m a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Biodiversity and Community Science at the California Academy of Sciences, where I leverage vast amounts of community science data to model ecological patterns across myriad landscapes. My research is most broadly motivated by the need to understand the biological and ethical drivers of Anthropocene biogeography.
