Barry Warner
Biography summary
Barry Warner studies the dynamics of natural, restored, and created wetlands using a variety of ecological and paleoecological indicators. These methods are used to study wetland ecosystems across a variety of spatial scales and temporal scales.
Professor Warner has studied wetlands in all parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Chile, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Japan, and Iraq.
Dr. Warner is a wetland ecologist and paleoecologist. His research focuses on wetland ecosystem dynamics of natural, restored, and created wetlands. Ecological and paleoecological (analysis of sediment stratigraphy, age dating, and biological indicators such as pollen, plant macrofossils, soil Protozoa) methods are used to study wetland ecosystems across a variety of spatial scales (i.e. local, regional and global) and temporal scales (i.e. seasonal, yearly, centenary and millennial).
