The Hamburg Lab is an interdisciplinary laboratory group focused on the influence of disturbance on the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems. Members of the lab group are students (undergraduates and graduates) and post docs associated with the Center for Environmental Studies and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University. Many of the members of the lab also participate in the Land Use and Land Cover Change Research Group at Brown.
Research within the Hamburg Lab is conducted at the Hubbard Brook LTER site and the larger White Mountain Region (New Hampshire), Fu-shan Experimental Forest (Taiwan), Israel and Palestine and in the Narragansett Bay watershed and the Big River Management Area (Rhode Island).
Steven Hamburg currently serves as the co-chair of the US-LTER International Committee responsible for helping link US LTER scientists with ILTER scientists. He also serves as the Research Director of the Global Environment Program of the Watson Institute.
