CSU Scientist and alumna Jill Baron named President of Ecological Society of America
Baron is an ecosystem ecologist with United States Geological Survey (USGS), a senior research ecologist with the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability – both in CSU’s Warner College of Natural Resources, and a member of CSU’s Graduate Degree Program in Ecology.
