Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDylan Craven is an ecosystem researcher and quantitative ecologist with 11 years of experience studying how terrestrial systems resist and recover from global change drivers such as land-use change, invasions, and drought. Currently an Associate Researcher at the Data Observatory and Associate Professor at Universidad Mayor’s Center for Genomics, Ecology and the Environment, he builds data-driven tools to track ecosystem condition and threats. His background includes postdoctoral synthesis work on biodiversity–stability relationships in leading European research centres and a PhD from Yale in tropical forest ecology, giving him deep expertise in both field and modeling approaches. Dylan combines hands-on field coordination experience with a strong quantitative and synthesis focus, and he often bridges ecological theory with practical monitoring solutions used for decision-making. An uncommon thread in his career is the blend of Latin American field experience and international synthesis, enabling cross-scale insights into ecosystem resilience.
