Overview

Michael N. Evans is affiliated with the University of Maryland, College Park in the United States. Their research spans environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with particular focus on atmospheric science, global and planetary change, and nature and landscape conservation as subfields.

The scientist's work addresses topics including plant water relations and carbon dynamics, tree-ring climate responses, geology and paleoclimatology research, climate variability and models, forest ecology and management, paleontology and stratigraphy of fossils, and geochemistry and elemental analysis.

Recent publications reflect a range of interdisciplinary interests. Selected papers include:

  • "Faecal egg counts and nemabiome metabarcoding highlight the genomic complexity of equine cyathostomin communities and provide insight into their dynamics in a Scottish native pony herd" (2022, International Journal for Parasitology)
  • "An interpreted language implementation of the Vaganov-Shashkin tree-ring proxy system model" (2020, Dendrochronologia)
  • "Reduction in lumen area is associated with the δ18O exchange between sugars and source water during cellulose synthesis" (2020, New Phytologist)
  • "Perspectives on Data Reproducibility and Replicability in Paleoclimate and Climate Science" (2020, Harvard Data Science Review)
  • "Using the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) records as century-long benchmarks for global land-surface models" (2021, Geoscientific Model Development)

Their frequent coauthors include Alan J. Kaufman, Rosanne D'Arrigo, Kevin J. Anchukaitis, Paul Szejner, and Geoffrey J. Gilleaudeau.

Michael N. Evans has published multiple articles in venues such as Abstracts with programs - Geological Society of America, Dendrochronologia, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Past Global Change Magazine, and the International Journal for Parasitology.
