Natalie Love, PhD

Welcome! I am currently a postdoctoral Researcher with the CROCUS (Community Research on Climate and Urban Science) project at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My current work focuses on assessing the health and stability of urban forests in Chicago, especially in the context of climate change. My previous work focuses on assessing patterns in diversity and structure in California’s urban forests. During my PhD, I studied the effects of climate and climate change on reproductive phenology in plants using herbarium specimens.
