Sarah Weiskopf is the National Biodiversity Lead at the National Climate Adaptation Science Center, where she works at the interface between ecological research and biodiversity and conservation policy. Her research focuses on the responses of ecosystems and ecosystem services to global change, with specific focus on species range shifts, biodiversity modeling, and science synthesis. She currently serves as the U.S. Focal Point for the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.
Sarah received her Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, M.S. in wildlife ecology, B.S. in wildlife conservation, and B.A. in biology from the University of Delaware. Sarah joined the USGS in 2016 as a Presidential Management Fellow, where she served as a chapter lead on the Ecosystems, Biodiversity, and Ecosystems Services chapter of the Fourth National Climate Assessment. During her fellowship, she spent several months working on international biodiversity issues at the Department of State Office of Conservation and Water.
