Jill Mueller

GLOBES IGERT
University of Notre Dame
Notre Dame, IN



After receiving her BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Saint Louis University, Jill enters her first year in the GLOBES program with the Ecology, Evolution, and Environment cluster in the Department of Biological Sciences. Her primary interests are in conservation biology and global change, and she hopes to conduct research addressing the intersection of human practices and conservation. Jill is particularly interested in studying global environmental change brought on by human actions and how such changes affect ecosystem functions. For example, she would like to research ways to monitor changing climate patterns and their effects on different biological populations and human communities. In doing so, she hopes to generate information and principles useful in conservation and public policy formation. Jill believes approaching these topics holistically is the best way to understand them, and she is excited about the prospect of carrying out her research in the interdisciplinary setting offered by the GLOBES program.
