Estella Leopold
Estella B. Leopold (born 1927) is a paleobotanist and a conservationist. As a researcher in the United States Geological Survey, she aided in uncovering records of plant life from the Miocene around the Eniwetok and Bikini Atolls in the southern Pacific Ocean and from the Cenozoic era in the Rocky Mountains. As a professor of botany and forest sciences at the University of Washington, she directed the (Quaternary Research Center ), researched the forest history of the Pacific Northwest, and collaborated with Chinese paleobotanists. Leopold's work as a conservationist includes taking legal action to help save the Florissant Fossil Beds in Colorado, and fighting pollution. She is the daughter of Aldo Leopold.
==Education==
Leopold was born in Madison, Wisconsin. She graduated with a degree in botany from the University of Wisconsin in 1948, attained her master’s in botany from the University of California at Berkeley in 1950, and completed a Ph.D. in botany from Yale University in 1955, where she studied with Paul B. Sears and Edward Smith Deevey, Jr., two palynological pioneers in the US, and also with G. Evelyn Hutchinson, an internationally known limnologist and ecologist.〔Flader, Susan. 2010. Biographical Portrait Estella Bergere Leopold Paleoecologist and Conservationist (1927-). Forest History Today, Spring/Fall. pp. 55-57. 〕 At Yale, Leopold began to specialize in studying pollen on a dare from an adviser. Her research involved extracting pollen and spores from ancient rocks and sediments and comparing this evidence of fossil plants with those of modern specimens in order to infer what past landscapes and environments were like.〔Oakes, Elizabeth.
