Education and career[]

Parmesan graduated with a PhD in biological science at the University of Texas at Austin in 1995 and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), University of California at Santa Barbara.[1] She moved to her position at Plymouth in 2010 and in 2017 was one of 18 scientists who moved to France on the invitation of Emmanuel Macron.[2]

Research[]

Her research looks at the responses of biodiversity to global climate change. In the 1990s she published one of the first studies documenting a biological range shift due to climate change,[3] her work on the Edith's checkerspot butterfly has been described as starting a 'revolution in science'.[4]

Her 2003 Nature paper 'A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems' with Gary Yohe was the highest cited paper relating to climate change, with over 3000 citations in 2015 and 6000 in 2020.[5]

Honours and Awards[]

In 2007 Parmesan was awarded the National Wildlife Federation’s Conservation Achievement Award in Science[6]

Named in 2013 a Distinguished Scientist by the [7]
