Lars Pomara is a research ecologist at the Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center of the US Forest Service, having joined the Center in June 2014. Lars is a spatial ecologist and ornithologist with research interests in the biogeography, landscape ecology, and conservation of temperate and tropical forest ecosystems. His current research involves working with the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative to synthesize existing research on threats to ecosystem services across Appalachian landscapes, and developing new strategies and tools to address future vulnerabilities in an integrative planning framework. Lars worked most recently as a postdoctoral research associate in Forest and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he developed climate change vulnerability assessments for wildlife species of conservation concern, in collaboration with the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative.
