Dr. Michela Mariani
Paleoecologist Michela Mariani, PhD, is an associate professor at the University of Nottingham in the UK. She's originally from Milan, Italy, and her research takes her to Australia, where she examines cores of mud full of ancient pollen pulled from beneath Tasmanian lakes. Her latest paper in Science determined that indigenous people removed the shrub layer from their forests, which prevented devastating wildfires from destroying their lands.
