Terry Root is a Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Biology. Root earned
a BS in mathematics and statistics from the University of New Mexico in 1975; an MA in Biology from the University of Colorado,
Boulder in 1982; and a PhD in Biology from Princeton University in 1987.
Terry L. Root primarily works on how wild animals and plants are changing with climate change, with a current focus on the
possible mass extinction of species with warming. She actively works at making scientific information accessible to decision
makers and the public. For example, she was a Lead Author for the Third (2001) and Fourth (2007) Assessment Reports of the
Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change and a Review Editor for the Fifth (2014) Assessment Report. In 2007 the IPCC was
co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Vice President Al Gore. In addition to other honors, Root was awarded the Spirit of
Defenders Award for Science by the Defenders of Wildlife in 2010; in 1999 she was chosen as an Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellow;
in 1992 as a Pew Scholar in Conservation and the Environment; and in 1990 as a Presidential Young Investigator Award from
the National Science Foundation.
