Profile of F. Stuart Chapin III

A professor of ecology in the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (Fairbanks, AK), Chapin was the first Alaskan elected to the National Academy of Sciences. His initial research concentrated on the adaptation of plants to changing environmental conditions and has evolved to investigating the dynamics of socioecological systems under changing conditions. Among the honors Chapin has received are the Kempe Award for Distinguished Ecologist in 1996 and the Usabelli Award for the top researcher in all fields from the University of Alaska in 2000. In his Inaugural Article in this issue of PNAS (1), Chapin and colleagues from the fields of environmental science, geography, and political science present a series of recommendations to help residents of Interior Alaska deal with climate change.
