Carl Boettiger

**Boettiger Group**

The Boettiger Group, led by Associate Professor Carl Boettiger at the University of California, Berkeley, is at the forefront of ecological research focusing on forecasting and decision-making amidst uncertainty. This innovative research team addresses critical issues in global change, conservation, and natural resource management. They specialize in predicting and managing ecological systems prone to sudden regime shifts, which pose significant challenges to traditional models and data.

Emphasizing the integration of traditional ecological theory with advanced data science techniques, the group employs cutting-edge methods, including stochastic dynamic systems, Bayesian inference, and optimal control theory. Their approach harnesses the wealth of available ecological and environmental data while coping with inherent uncertainties.

Boettiger is also instrumental in fostering collaboration in the field, as a co-founder of the Schmidt Center for Data Science & Environment and an advisory board member for the NSF Environmental Data Science Innovation and Inclusion Lab. Through these initiatives, the Boettiger Group is committed to advancing ecological research and education, firmly rooted in data science and environmental sustainability.
