Alex Zvoleff, Ph.D.
Senior Director, Data Science, Global Synthesis, Moore Center for Science
Zvoleff’s team focuses on understanding the role nature plays in supporting people's resilience to climate change. It also develops and applys new approaches for defining and measuring resilience, and develops demand-driven tools with the potential to transform land management.
Zvoleff and his team work closely with partners from local NGOs, academia, government, the private sector and multilaterals, as well as the secretariats of relevant international conventions to support the application of their work.
Zvoleff’s work integrates large interdisciplinary datasets to study interactions between human well-being and changes in climate, land use and land cover. He uses statistics and spatial modeling to assimilate data from a broad range of sources, ensuring the best possible information is available and accessible by non-expert audiences to inform conservation decisions.
Zvoleff received his Ph.D. in geography in a joint program at San Diego State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, and holds a master’s degree from Columbia University.
