Susan J. Mazer is a Professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She holds a B.S. in Biology from Yale University (1981), an M.S. in Botany from UC Davis (1983), and a Ph.D. in Botany from UC Davis (1986). Her research focuses on plant adaptation mechanisms, genetic constraints, and evolutionary ecology, integrating quantitative genetics, plant breeding, and field experiments. She leads the Mazer Lab, which investigates topics like mating system evolution, phenological responses to climate, and floral trait evolution in Clarkia and other species. She co-leads the Virtual Center for the Study of Biotic Interactions (ViCSBI), a multi-campus initiative examining climate impacts on ecological interactions. Dr. Mazer advises numerous graduate and undergraduate students and has published extensively on plant ecology, evolution, and phenology. Her work includes developing tools like PhenoForecaster for phenological prediction and leveraging herbarium data for climate research.
