Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBecky Chaplin-Kramer is a landscape ecologist and global biodiversity leader with a decade-plus career translating Earth observations and ecosystem-service science into decision-ready tools for policy and practice. She co-founded Spring to build a platform that produces minute-scale, globally consistent assessments of nature’s benefits, and now applies that scalable modeling expertise as Global Biodiversity Lead Scientist at WWF while holding a Principal Research Scientist role at the University of Minnesota. Her work bridges fine-resolution landscape heterogeneity with global-scale analysis, enabling rapid trade-off assessments for planners, supply-chain actors, and conservation initiatives. Trained at Stanford and UC Berkeley with deep experience developing InVEST and other ecosystem-service models, she is skilled at turning complex ecological data into actionable priorities and forecasts for nature-based solutions. An often-overlooked strength is her track record of building cyber-infrastructure that couples rigorous science to practical monitoring and decision-support across public, private, and NGO sectors.
