Brian Beckage is a professor at the University of Vermont whose work focuses on ecological and climate system modeling, including the integration of human behavior into Earth system models and the dynamics of forest and soil carbon systems.[1]
Research
Beckage's publication record spans ecological modeling, soil carbon dynamics, urban tree cooling effects, and the incorporation of human behavior into climate models. According to Semantic Scholar, his work has been cited 5,397 times across 99 papers, yielding an h-index of 40.[2]
His 2022 paper "Incorporating human behaviour into Earth system modelling," published in Nature Human Behaviour, has been cited 64 times, making it his most cited work according to Semantic Scholar.[3]
According to National Science Foundation records, Beckage has received four NSF awards totaling $1,849,200. These include a 2024 award for "Integrating human risk perception and social processes into policy responses in an epidemiological model" ($1,344,200), a 2010 collaborative research award for "Linking models to data to investigate patterns and process in savannas" ($355,000), a 2006 award for "Linking Landscape Models of Fire, Vegetation, and Global Climate Change in the Florida Everglades" ($50,000), and a 2001 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics ($100,000).[4]
