Ehrenfeld Award
The Joan Ehrenfeld Award for Best Student Presentation in Urban Ecology
Joan Ehrenfeld was one of the pioneers of urban ecology whose contributions helped shape our knowledge of urban ecosystems. Her work spanned many taxa and systems, ranging from novel work on urban wetlands to the role of people in shaping urban ecosystem processes. Her former students and postdocs are continuing this work around the globe. In recognition of her many contributions to urban ecology, the best oral presentation in urban ecology given at the annual Ecological Society of America meeting is named in her honor. The award is open to both undergraduate and graduate students giving an oral presentation in the field of urban ecology at the annual meeting.
At the 2019 meeting the Urban Ecosystems Ecology (UEE) section of ESA will be awarding its 8th annual award in honor of the late Dr. Joan Ehrenfeld.
