Newman will co-author a chapter of the United States Global Change Research Program's report, collaborating with experts nationwide to deliver an evidence-based overview of America's wildlife and ecosystems, evaluate emerging trends, and identify effective strategies to mitigate the challenges posed by the nation's rapidly changing natural landscape.
