Biography

Bradford P. Wilcox is a Regents Professor in the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology, Texas A&M University, USA. He is an ecohydrologist who focuses on vegetation and water interactions in savanna and woodland landscapes. 

Heidi Asbjornsen is a Professor at the University of New Hampshire, USA. She is an ecosystem ecologist whose research focuses on understanding plant-water interactions across scales—from leaves to watersheds—and how vegetation responses to environmental and land use change influence hydrological regulation and other critical ecosystem services.

Irena Creed is a Professor in the Department of Physical & Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto, Canada. She is an ecosystem scientist who studies how climate change alters the movement and transformation of water, carbon, and nutrients through atmospheric–terrestrial–aquatic systems, from headwater catchments to wetlands, streams, and lakes.

Lixin Wang is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis, USA. He is an ecohydrologist who focuses on vegetation-water interactions in water-stressed ecosystems, such as drylands or any ecosystems under drought conditions. 

Keith Smettem is a Professorial Fellow at Murdoch University, Australia and Emeritus Professor at The University of Western Australia. His research has spanned many scales, from the physics of preferential flow processes to the impacts of climate change on regional vegetation systems and ecohydrological feedbacks.
