Revision as of 04:55, 10 October 2022
John Harte (born July 8, 1939) is an ecologist and Professor of the Graduate School in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California at Berkeley.[1][2] His work includes investigation into a maximum entropy theory of ecology and long-term experiments on the effects of climate change on alpine ecology.[3]
Academic career
Harte received his B.A. from Harvard University in 1961 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Wisconsin in 1965.[4] He was an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University from 1968-1973. He used his analytic abilities in 1971 to assess the impact of a proposed jetport on the Florida Everglades,[5] the findings of which were instrumental[6] in the rejection of the proposal. Impressed by the impact science could have on policy and conservation, he transitioned into the study of theoretical ecology, and joined the UC Berkeley faculty as an ecologist in the Energy and Resources Group in 1973.[7][8]
Research and Policy Work
In 1990, he started the first global warming field experiment in the world,[9] which involved many scientists and continued for nearly 30 years, making it the longest-running global warming field experiment ever undertaken. The wide-ranging, profound and copious research results on heating a subalpine meadow ecosystem were reported in numerous published scientific papers[10] throughout the decades, and the research was described popularly, such as on Now with Bill Moyers, [11] and in Mother Jones Magazine.[12] Major findings[13] included showing how heated subalpine meadow plots started transforming towards more arid sagebrush habitat, which involved a loss of 25% of the soil carbon to the atmosphere; by 2015 research showed that unheated meadow plots were showing the same effects but more slowly, tracking the effects of climate change in real time,[14] and affirming the realism of the experimental manipulation (ie, the heated plots).
He has published (e.g., [15][16]) on the problem of, and needed solutions to, the unsustainable global growth of human populations. He also co-authored the first free online book on climate change and policy in 2009, Cool the Earth, Save the Economy: Solving the Climate Crisis Is EASY,[17] most of which is still relevant to understanding the climate crisis and plausible policy avenues today. He has also spoken out on the policy implications of his global warming research to the public on numerous occasions, notably in a filmed 2022 presentation[18] to the Central Colorado Humanists.
Honors and awards
He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1988 "for contributions to the interface between physics and ecology, including development of understanding of climate codification due to nuclear winter and to the impact of acid rain on aquatic ecosystems".[19]
He was unanimously selected in July 1990 to be one of the first recipients of the Pew Scholar Prize in Conservation and the Environment.[20]
He received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1993 and the Leo Szilard prize from the American Physical Society in 2001.[21]
He was elected Fellow to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2014;[22] further honors include elected Fellow to the California Academy of Sciences, as well as Phi Beta Kappa and University of Colorado Distinguished Lectureships, the UC Berkeley Graduate Mentorship Award, a Miller Professorship, and a George Polk award in investigative journalism.[23]
