Overview

Susan J. Mazer is affiliated with the University of California, Santa Barbara in the United States. Their research primarily spans agricultural and biological sciences as well as environmental science, with significant contributions to ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, plant science, ecological modeling, nature and landscape conservation, and ecology. They have authored 50 publications in the broader field of agricultural and biological sciences and 49 in environmental science.

Their scientific work focuses on key topics including plant and animal studies, species distribution and climate change, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, remote sensing in agriculture, leaf properties and growth measurement, plant physiology and cultivation studies, and animal and plant science education.

Susan J. Mazer has published multiple papers in notable venues. Frequent publication outlets include Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) with 9 publications, Madroño with 6, American Journal of Botany with 4, Ecography with 3, and QUBES with 3.

Among recent publications, key papers include:

  • Plasticity and not adaptation is the primary source of temperature-mediated variation in flowering phenology in North America, 2024, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • Machine Learning Using Digitized Herbarium Specimens to Advance Phenological Research, 2020, BioScience
  • A new fine-grained method for automated visual analysis of herbarium specimens: A case study for phenological data extraction, 2020, Applications in Plant Sciences
  • Advancing frost dates have reduced frost risk among most North American angiosperms since 1980, 2020, Global Change Biology
  • Climate Predicts UV Floral Pattern Size, Anthocyanin Concentration, and Pollen Performance in Clarkia unguiculata, 2020, Frontiers in Plant Science

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers, with notable co-authors including Tadeo Ramirez-Parada, Natalie Love, Isaac Park, Charles C. Davis, and Sydne Record. These collaborations reflect ongoing partnerships particularly in their fields of ecological modeling and plant sciences.
