Beatrice Willard : ウィキペディア英語版
Beatrice Willard
Beatrice Willard (1925-2003) was an American botanist who specialized in studies on the ecology and botany of high alpine tundra, as well as arctic tundra. Willard's studies influenced public policy with her studies, which centered on plant life at high altitudes. Willard was responsible for the establishment of the Beatrice Willard Alpine Tundra Research Plots above the treeline in Rocky Mountain National Park, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In later years she was an adviser to U.S. presidents Nixon and Ford as the first woman on the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ).
Beatrice Willard was born December 19, 1925, the daughter of Stephen and Beatrice Williard, living in Palm Springs, California and Sierra Nevada during her childhood. Her father was a noted landscape photographer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.owensvalleyhistory.com/whitney_packers3/stephen_willard.pdf )〕 She developed an interest in natural studies by the time she was twelve. She was awarded a B.A. in biological sciences from Stanford University in 1947, then attended the National Park Service Yosemite Field School. However, she was unable to get a job with the Park Service and took work as a high school teacher, first in Salinas, California, then in Oakland, and finally at Tulelake High School in California. In 1952 she began working as a seasonal interpretive ranger at Lava Beds National Monument and Crater Lake National Park. During the 1950s Willard was awarded a Ford Foundation grant to study alpine ecology in Europe. In the 1950s she entered graduate school at the University of Colorado, earning her M.A. in botany/plant ecology in 1960 and her Ph.D. in botany/plant ecology in 1963, advised by John Marr, founder of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research. She wrote ''Land Above the Trees: A Guide to American Alpine Tundra'' in 1972 with coauthor-illustrator Ann Zwinger, revising it in 1996. In later years she directed the Thorne Institute in Aspen, Colorado and was active in the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Sierra Club and with the Colorado Open Space Council. Willard promoted the establishment of Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. As a member of the CEQ she advised on the design of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. After leaving the CEQ in 1973 she joined the Colorado School of Mines and established the school's environmental sciences program, earning a United Nations Outstanding Environmental Leadership Award.〔
