Dr. Ryan Klein
Dr. Ryan Klein is an Assistant Professor, School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences at the University of Florida.
Dr. Klein’s research focuses on the risk associated with urban trees and their survival following hurricanes and other intense storms. His interests center around exploring the impacts that urban forests have on the health and safety of urban populations. He views the relationship between people and their natural surroundings as being especially significant since most of the world’s population live in urban areas and urban sprawl continues to consume our remaining natural spaces. Human interactions, such as planning and management become ever more important to the sustainability of our urban forests. Thus, it is vital for research to address these issues and bridge the gap between human culture and the natural world.
Dr. Klein has a B.A. Business, Columbia College Chicago, a B.A. Anthropology, Western Illinois University, an M.S. Environmental Horticulture, University of Florida, and a Ph.D. Environmental Horticulture, University of Florida
