John B Bradford, Ph.D.

John leads the Dryland Ecohydrology Team, a group of researchers working to understand how environmental change, particularly changing drought, will interact with disturbances and land use to impact vegetation in drylands, which include shrublands, grasslands, woodlands, and dry forests.  John’s team pursues research in partnership with resource managers, particularly Department of Interior Agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service.  The team works with these partners to develop adaptive strategies that help sustain dryland ecosystems and the services they provide in a time of rapid change.
