Early life
editGrowing up in a military family that moved frequently, Hadly found consistency within nature.[1]
Hadly has interest in research within local scale impacts of climate change and emphasizes the importance of local conservation efforts.[5]
Career
editHadly studied anthropology at University of Colorado Boulder. She initially pursued a pre-med track before gaining interest in human history within the fossil record[1] which then evolved to include the environment and climate and how it functioned before humans.[6]
She volunteered in Yellowstone National Park in 1982, which led to a full-time paleoecologist position there.[1] Her work in the park service funded her master's degree in quaternary science at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff that she received in 1990.[1]
Between 1991 and 1994 she worked towards and was awarded a PhD in integrative biology awarded by the University of California, Berkeley.[2]
From 1995 to 1998, she taught as an assistant research professor at Montana State University.[7]
She was a research associate for UCMP (University of California Museum of Paleontology) from 1995 to 2013[7] before becoming a professor at Stanford University.
In September 2016, Hadly became faculty director for the Stanford Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve,[2] where she has worked on defining the Anthropocene,[8] the Insect Apocalypse, food webs from feces, soil, and cameras, and reverse spillover - how animals are impacted by human-shed microbes.[9]
Since 2018, she has also been a professor at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.[10]
Currently teaching at Stanford University, she provides students with field and lab experiences[9] with the belief that hands-on learning enhances problem-solving skills and helps students better understand complex issues. She works to promote diversity through unique locations of study, assisting students from less privileged backgrounds, and interdisciplinary science.[11]
Research interests
editHadly has published over 100 scholarly papers with over 8,000 citations recorded.[12] Her published papers can be found within many databases including the National Library of Medicine database under "Hadley EA [Author]".[13]
Hadly's current research focus is on ecology, evolution, population biology, and genomics.[9]
In collaboration with her husband, Anthony Barnosky, and others, she co-authored a 2012 Nature paper on climatic 'tipping points'[14] and is also co-author, with Barnosky, of Tipping Point for Planet Earth, How Close Are We to the Edge? (2016).[15] She and Barnosky appeared in the 2015 documentary film, Tomorrow.[16]
Awards and positions
editIn recognition of her contributions to academia and research, Hadley was awarded the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor Award, which includes a $1 million grant over five years.[10]
Hadly holds the position of Head of the Faculty Senate at Stanford University.[1]
She is a Senior Fellow of Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment.[17]
Hadly is a member of the Biox Stanford faculty grassroots organization.[1]
