  • 1992 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Richard A. Steinhardt was affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley in the United States. Their research spanned various aspects of environmental science, with a focus on ecological modeling, environmental engineering, and ecology.

The scientist's recent published work includes the paper titled "Integration of Spatially-Explicit Behavioral Data and Drone-Based Lidar Mapping Reveals Divergent Microhabitats in Sympatric Tamarins", published in 2025 in the American Journal of Primatology. This publication reflects interest in advanced remote sensing techniques combined with ecological studies.

Steinhardt frequently published in the following venue:

  • American Journal of Primatology

Their research covered several main topics, among which were:

  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Remote Sensing and LiDAR Applications
  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation

The scientist collaborated with multiple researchers, including:

  • Eben N. Broadbent
  • Angélica M. Almeyda Zambrano
  • Mrinalini Watsa
  • Gideon Erkenswick

Steinhardt received recognition as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1992.
