Dr. Ian Breckheimer is a staff Research Scientist at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Originally from Saluda, North Carolina, Ian’s research focuses on how landscapes (and the plants and people that live there) are adapting to global change. Much of his work links field measurements of ecological processes such as plant growth and flowering to their landscape context via imagery collected from drones, airplanes, and satellites.
