William Anderegg

William Anderegg is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah, College of Science. His research focuses on understanding forest ecosystems in the context of climate change, particularly addressing drought, wildfire, and insect impacts on tree mortality and carbon cycling. He integrates physiological and ecosystem-scale approaches to study biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks and nature-based climate solutions.

• Research Themes: Drought physiology, forest carbon dynamics, climate mitigation, and ecosystem resilience.
• Key Collaborations: NSF-funded projects, NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network), and policy-engaged research with state agencies.
• Media Recognition: His work has been highlighted in Nature, Science, TIME, and Forbes.

Dr. Anderegg's lab employs interdisciplinary methods across spatial scales, from xylem cells to global forests, and emphasizes data synthesis for predictive modeling and climate policy.
